Equipment

  • large pot or dutch oven

Ingredients

  • 6 strips bacon chopped
  • 1 ½ pound Italian sausage casings removed if applicable
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 4 cups water
  • 5 medium red potatoes cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 small bunch kale stems removed and leaves chopped

Instructions

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon for a few minutes
  • until it starts to render fat but isn't fully crispy. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it into
  • pieces, and continue cooking until both the bacon and sausage are crispy. Drain some of the
  • grease, but leave a little in the pot for flavor.
  • Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced
  • garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and water. Add the red potatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and
  • pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender,
  • about 15-20 minutes.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and chopped kale. Let the soup simmer for another 5-10 minutes,
  • until the kale is wilted.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and enjoy!
