Description
A cozy and creamy soup featuring Italian sausage, potatoes, and kale, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, based on preference)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 medium potatoes, diced (about 1 pound)
- 1 cup kale, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the chopped kale and cook for an additional 5 minutes until wilted.
- Lower the heat and add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through but do not boil.
- Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream or use a plant-based cream alternative.
- Add diced carrots or celery for extra vegetables and flavor. You can also use spinach instead of kale for a different twist.
