Step 1

While browning, break up the Italian sausage and cook it in a big saucepan over medium heat. After the sausage has browned, take it out of the pan and put it aside, reserving the cooking liquid.

Step 2

Sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes translucent. Once the minced garlic begins to smell, stir it in and continue cooking for another minute.

Step 3

Once the mixture is boiling, add the chicken broth. After about fifteen to twenty minutes of cooking, add the sliced potatoes and continue cooking until they are soft.

Step 4

Put the sausage back in the saucepan once it has cooked with the potatoes. Add the chopped kale and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until the kale wilts.

Step 5

After adding the heavy cream, turn the heat down to low and whisk. To taste, add salt, pepper, and, if you want, red pepper flakes. Return to a simmering boil after heating.

Step 6

If you want it spicy, top with more red pepper flakes before serving hot.

Step 7

It will take 10 minutes to prepare, 30 minutes to cook, and 40 minutes to complete.
