Italian Sausage, Potato & Kale Soup
/There is just something about cold, foggy, or rainy days that makes you want to curl up with a warm bowl of soup! I’ve been trying to add more greens creatively into recipes and meals I cook this year. So here is one of my favorite soups to make all year round, but especially right now as we finish off the cold of Winter.
Serves: 10 (2 cup Serving)
Ingredients:
2 lbs. of Italian Sausage
1 Onion
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp italian seasoning
5 cloves of minced garlic
2 tbsp flour
4 cups vegetable broth
3 cups whole milk
3 large potatoes
6 cups chopped kale (if not fresh I get the pre chopped)
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
Parmesan Cheese to garnish
Directions:
Grab your biggest pot! I use the 8 quart stockpot with cover from 360cookware so I have plenty of room. The 6 quart will work great too (discount code below!). Heat on Low-Medium.
Add in Italian sausage and onion. Cooking and stirring until meat is cooked and onion is softened. Making sure to break up sausage into little bits.
Once cooked add in seasonings (red pepper flakes, sea salt Italian seasoning). Stir. Add in garlic and stir until fragrant. About 1 minute.
Next you will add the 2 tbsp. of flour and stir until well coated.
Add in Vegetable broth nice and slow to incorporate into the meat mixture. Then the whole milk. Stirring until well combined.
Take cut Potatoes (you can have these as small or as big as you like, but I do about an inch size) and add into pot. Stir to make sure they are all covered. Let come to a simmer and turn heat to low. Cover and let cook until fork can go through potatoes. 20-30 min.
Once potatoes are done add in heavy cream and then kale. Making sure to stir all together and incorporate fully so kale can soften.
Let cook for around 15 min until kale is soft.
Serve in bowl with parmesan cheese for garnish! Enjoy!!
