Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb mild or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 ½ lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups chopped kale, stems removed
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan and olive oil for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until deeply browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the onion and garlic. Cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the potatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook uncovered until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Turn the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and kale. Simmer gently until the kale is wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
  5. Ladle into bowls, top with Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil, and serve hot.

Notes

If the soup sits for a while before serving, it will continue to thicken as the potatoes absorb liquid. Stir in a little extra broth or water when reheating to get back to the original consistency.
