Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 small sweet onion diced
- 6 lices Bacon diced
- 4 cups potato peeled and cut into ½" cubes
- 2 cups kale or fresh spinach, chopped
- 5 cups chicken broth low sodium
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium-high; place the strips of bacon in the pot and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel and spoon out the extra bacon fat, leaving about 1 Tbsp in the pot.
- Add sausage and onion to the pot and cook, crumbling the sausage, until meat is no longer pink and onion is translucent for about 3-5 minutes. Add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Drain excess fat.
- Pour in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add cubed potatoes; reduce heat to a medium simmer for about 10-12 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- Stir in chopped kale until it begins to wilt.
- Return most of the bacon back to the pot (reserving some for topping) and stir in heavy cream until heated through, 2-3 more minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve with bread sticks and top with reserved crumbled bacon!
