Ingredients

450g Italian sausage

4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced

1 onion, finely diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chopped kale

1 tbsp olive oil

½ tsp Italian seasoning

Salt & black pepper

Chili flakes (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Brown the Sausage
   Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon for even texture.
2. Sauté the Aromatics
   Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft and slightly golden. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds to release its aroma.
3. Add the Potatoes
   Add the thinly sliced potatoes into the pot and mix them with the sausage and onions so they absorb the flavors.
4. Pour in the Broth & Season
   Add chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat. Let it simmer for 12–15 minutes until potatoes turn tender.
5. Make It Creamy
   Once the potatoes are fully cooked, pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently to combine and let the soup thicken for 2–3 minutes.
6. Add the Kale
   Stir in the chopped kale and cook for another 5 minutes until wilted and vibrant. Taste and adjust seasoning.
7. Serve Warm & Enjoy
   Ladle into bowls, top with chili flakes if you like spice, and pair with crusty bread for the perfect cozy meal.
