Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Vegetables
- 1 pound of sausage
- 4 cups of diced potatoes
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 cups of kale, chopped
Liquids and Seasonings
- 4 cups of chicken broth
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the sausage until it’s browned and cooked through, breaking it up as it cooks to ensure even browning.
- Sauté onion and garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot with the sausage, cooking until they soften and become fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add potatoes and broth: Stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the chicken broth, mixing everything together to combine.
- Simmer the soup: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the potatoes to become tender and flavors to meld.
- Incorporate cream and kale: Pour in the heavy cream and add the chopped kale, stirring well. Cook for another 5 minutes until the kale is wilted and the soup is creamy.
- Season to taste: Finally, season the soup with salt and pepper according to your preference, then serve hot and enjoy your comforting bowl of sausage potato soup.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk.
- Use spicy sausage for an added kick.
- Potatoes can be peeled or left with skin on for extra texture and nutrients.
- Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to substitute kale with spinach or Swiss chard if preferred.
