Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 medium onion (diced)

  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)

  • 3 medium russet potatoes (peeled and diced)

  • 6 cups chicken broth

  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning

  • 1 bunch kale (stems removed, chopped)

  • 1 cup heavy cream (optional for creamier texture)

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Grated Parmesan for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat.

  2. Add sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces, about 5–7 minutes.

  3. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

  4. Add diced potatoes, chicken broth, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil.

  5. Reduce heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.

  6. Stir in chopped kale and cook another 5 minutes until wilted.

  7. (Optional) Stir in heavy cream for a creamy version.

  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  9. Serve hot, topped with Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, skip the cream and Parmesan—still super flavorful!

  • Want it low-carb? Swap potatoes for cauliflower florets.

  • This soup freezes well—just leave out the cream until reheating.
