Ingredients

  • ½ pound Bacon
  • 3 cans (14 ounces) chicken broth
  • 2 cups heavy cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook ½ pound bacon for 5 minutes and crumble it. Set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel. Cook 1 lb Italian Sausage and set aside.
  2. Skin each of the 4 russet potatoes. Slice the potatoes in half, then lay the halves down and cut those into quarter-inch slices so they’re 1/4-inch thick half circles. Or, quarter the potatoes, then slice those into 1/4-inch thick quarter circles, making the potatoes more bite-sized.
  3. Bring a large pot with 3 cans (14 ounces) Chicken broth to a boil. Boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes or until tender.
  4. While the potatoes boil, saute 1 medium onion and 2 garlic cloves for about 5-7 minutes or until tender and set aside.
  5. Once potatoes are tender, add sausage, onion, garlic, bacon, and 2 ½ cups kale to the pot. Boil for 2-3 minutes until the kale starts to wilt. Reduce heat and add 2 cups heavy cream.
  6. Cook for 10 minutes or until heated through, and add salt and pepper to taste.
