Y'all. This recipe is the bomb. It is so simple; you'll think to yourself, "How on earth is this soup going to be so good? The ingredients are so little and basic!" But I promise you that you will absolutely adore this soup. In my opinion, it is even better than Olive Garden's version!
Ingredients:
1 lb ground Italian sausage; I like using hot, but you can use mild or sweet too!
1 onion, diced
2 tsp. minced garlic
Salt & pepper, to taste
6 cups of chicken stock
4 large potatoes, diced
1 bunch of curly kale, chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
In a large pot over medium heat, cook your sausage until no longer pink. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the sausage. Put the sausage back in the pot.
Add in the diced onion and cook until tender. Add in garlic as well.
Add in the potatoes and chicken stock, along with a good pinch of salt. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 23-25 minutes.
Stir in the kale and let it cook until the leaves are bright green and tender. Then stir in the heavy cream. Simmer about 5 minutes more.
Lastly, add the parmesan cheese and season with a small pinch of pepper.
Serve with extra parmesan cheese!
