It’s essential to let the potatoes simmer until they’re completely tender, which adds a lush texture to the soup.
Feel free to experiment by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes if you’re a fan of a little heat.

Ingredients
  
  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 4 slices Bacon
  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 4 cups Chicken broth
  • 3 cups Kale chopped
  • 2 cups Potatoes sliced
  • 1 cup Half and half
  • 1 Onion diced
  • Salt and Black pepper to taste
Instructions
 
  • Begin by heating olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  • Add bacon slices and cook until they are crisp, which usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove the bacon, leaving about 1 tablespoon of fat in the pot.
  • Next, add the Italian sausage to the pot.
  • Break it up with a spatula and cook it thoroughly for around 5 minutes until browned.
  • Toss in the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until tender and golden.
  • This enhances the soup’s flavor.
  • Add the sliced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat.
  • Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes become tender.
  • Introduce the chopped kale and half and half to the soup, stirring gently.
  • Continue to simmer until the kale wilts, which takes approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Season with salt and black pepper to your liking.
