Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Prep Vegetables: Start by thinly slicing the russet potatoes, dicing the onion, and mincing the garlic.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large stockpot, heat up olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the diced onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and red-pepper flakes, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Cook Sausage: Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks. Brown the sausage for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink.
  4. Add Broth and Potatoes: Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the potatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15-20 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Incorporate Kale: Once potatoes are soft, add the kale and cook for another 3-5 minutes until wilted.
  6. Finish with Cream: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Keep the heat low to avoid boiling.
  7. Serve: Ladle the warm soup into bowls, garnish as desired, and enjoy with crusty bread.
