Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Italian sausage (use turkey or plant-based for a lighter option)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 cup kale, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream (use coconut cream for a dairy-free option)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Brown the Sausage: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned. This step helps to render out the flavors and gives the soup a robust base.
- Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add onion and garlic to the pot; sauté until fragrant. This process enhances the depth of flavor in the soup.
- Simmer with Chicken Broth and Potatoes: Pour in the chicken broth and add diced potatoes. Simmer until potatoes are tender, which should take about 15 minutes. This ensures that the potatoes absorb the flavors of the broth and sausage.
- Add Kale: Stir in the kale and cook for an additional 5 minutes. The kale should be wilted and tender, adding a nutritional boost to your soup.
- Incorporate Cream: Lower the heat and mix in the cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The cream adds a rich, velvety texture to the soup, making it irresistibly creamy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy! This comforting soup is best enjoyed fresh.
