Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 4 medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh kale, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
- Add diced potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream. Return the sausage to the pot and add chopped kale. Cook for 5 minutes until the kale is wilted.
- Season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
[‘Brown the sausage properly to enhance flavor.’, ‘Avoid overcooking the potatoes to maintain texture.’, ‘Add cream slowly over low heat to prevent curdling.’, ‘Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.’]
