Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb ground sausage
  • 6 slices turkey bacon diced into small pieces
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flake
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2.5 lbs yellow potatoes diced into cubes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk or more cream
  • 6 oz kale
  • cooked bacon and parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  • Heat a large dutch oven over medium-high heat and add oil. Once hot, add sausage and break up into small pieces as it cooks. Once fully cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer to another bowl, leaving oil behind.
  • Add bacon and let cook for 3-4 minutes or until beginning to brown, then add in onions and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flake and cook for another minute.
  • To the onions and bacon, add the potatoes and then pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then cook for another 12-14 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
  • Once potatoes are tender, add in the cream and the milk, then add back in the sausage. Bring to a light boil and then reduce heat to medium. Add in the kale and cook the soup another 10 minutes to let the flavors combine and the kale soften.
  • Serve with cooked bacon and parmesan cheese!
