Now, let’s get to the fun part—the ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 lb Italian sausage (or spicy sausage if you’re feeling bold)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth (the magic elixir)
- 2 cups kale, chopped (this isn’t just a trend, folks)
- 3 medium potatoes, diced (the star of the show)
- 1 cup heavy cream (because we all need a little decadence)
- Salt and pepper to taste (don’t skip this step!)
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for those who like it hot)
Looks pretty manageable, right? Now, let’s get cooking!
Instructions to Deliciousness
- In a large pot, brown the Italian sausage over medium heat until it’s nice and crispy. Stir it around like you mean it!
- Once the sausage is browned, toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onions become translucent, releasing all those glorious aromas.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Dump in the diced potatoes and let them cook for about 10 minutes or until tender.
- Next, add in the kale. Stir it in there like you’re giving it a warm hug. It will wilt beautifully!
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, letting it simmer for a few more minutes. This is where the magic really happens!
- Season with salt, pepper, and, if you’re feeling a little spicy, those crushed red pepper flakes.
- Serve hot with some crusty bread for dunking. Bon appétit!
