Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausage (mild or hot, casings removed, approximately 2 cups)
- 8 lices Bacon (chopped)
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 6 cloves garlic (finely minced)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 6 cups water
- 4 medium Russet potatoes (peeled and diced into ½ inch pieces)
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- 4 cups kale (chopped)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese
- salt and pepper (to taste)
Garnish
- Parmesan Cheese
- crumbled bacon
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven on medium high heat, add the chopped bacon. Sauté for about 5 - 7 minutes, or until cooked through and crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Spoon out the excess oil, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pot.
- Remove the casings from the sausage and add them to the pot. Use a spatula to break up the sausage into bite sized pieces. Sauté until cooked through, about 5 - 7 minutes. Transfer the cooked sausage to the paper towel lined plate.
- Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until translucent. Add in the minced garlic, sauté for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. If using, add in the chili flakes.
- Add in the broth, water, and diced potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Add the chopped kale, cooked sausage, parmesan cheese and half of the cooked bacon.
- Reduce heat to medium low, stir in the cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Serve the soup garnished with the remaining cooked bacon and additional parmesan. Enjoy!
