Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 3 cups chopped kale (stems removed)

  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained and chopped)

  6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

  7. Add sun-dried tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream and skip the cheese.

  • You can use spinach instead of kale if you prefer a milder green.

  • Adjust the spice by increasing or decreasing the red pepper flakes.
