1 teaspoon black pepper

2 cups heavy cream

4 cups kale

Steps

Step 1

In a large pot saute sausage 5-6 minutes until browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sausage to a plate and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, add butter and saute onions over medium heat until translucent. Add garlic and saute for another minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add chicken broth, water, potatoes, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Boil until potatoes are tender. Stir in kale, and heavy cream. Add sausage. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Serve garnished with grated parmesan cheese and/or bacon if desired.

The sausage: if you have regular ground sausage, simply add 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning or Herbs de Provence + a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
