Ingredients
Scale
1 pound Italian Sausage
2 cups Kale, chopped
2 medium Potatoes, diced
6 cups Broth (chicken or vegetable)
1 Onion, diced
3 cloves Garlic, minced
2 medium Carrots, diced
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, optional
Instructions
Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, toss in the diced onion and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Brown the Sausage: Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
Add Garlic: Once the sausage is browned, stir in the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, if using. Cook for an additional minute just until fragrant.
Combine Potatoes and Broth: Stir in the diced potatoes, then pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer for about 15 minutes.
Toss in the Kale: Once your potatoes are ready, stir in the chopped kale. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Season and Serve: Taste the soup, adding salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and enjoy!
Notes
Can freeze the soup for up to three months. Use mild sausage for a kid-friendly option.
