Equipment
- Slow cooker
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Italian pork sausage
- 1 tablespoon of sausage grease reserved for sautéing
- 1 small yellow onion finely diced
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ½ pounds Russet Potatoes washed, dried, and chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 4 packed cups of kale chopped and de-stemmed
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- A pinch of red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- In a large skillet on medium-high heat, brown your sausage until there is no more pink. Remove the pan from the heat and drain most of the grease, leaving about one tablespoon.
- Add your finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the cooked sausage and return the pan to medium-high heat. Sauté until the onions begin to look translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Next, add your meat mixture, broth, chopped potatoes, salt, and pepper to your slow cooker and mix everything together until combined. Cover with the lid and turn on low for 6 hours.
- After the soup has finished cooking, add the chopped kale and heavy cream, mix together, and cover on high for 20 more minutes until the kale is tender.
- Serve hot and enjoy! Optionally, top with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an extra kick or parmesan cheese.
