Description
A warm, hearty Italian soup made with creamy potatoes, savory sausage, and vibrant greens, perfect for cozy evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 3 medium potatoes (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup kale (or Swiss chard)
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
- Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
- Olive oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients. Thinly slice your potatoes, chop your onion, and mince the garlic. Wash and chop your kale into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until soft, about 3 minutes. Then, add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart. Cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes.
- Pour in the broth, add the sliced potatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the kale and let it wilt for a couple of minutes before adding the heavy cream.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve in bowls topped with grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper.
Notes
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
