A rich, creamy broth infused with garlic and herb flavors, tender potatoes, and savory Italian sausage, all topped with fresh kale. This dish is not just a meal; it’s a comforting embrace on a cold winter evening.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound Italian sausage
4 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold), diced
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups kale (Tuscan or curly), chopped
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the casing from the Italian sausage and crumble it into the pot. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Stir in the chopped kale and heavy cream. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with additional kale or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
