Ingredients

1 lb mild Italian sausage
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 white onion diced
3 carrots peeled and diced
3 cloves garlic minced
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 lb red and yellow potatoes diced
2 cups kale finely chopped
¾ cup heavy cream
shredded Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

Add sausage to a large soup pot or Dutchmen oven. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks, until browned.
Remove excess grease.
Add the butter, onion, and carrots, and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes, stirring often.
Add the garlic, and season with salt and pepper, and cook another minute.
Add the potatoes, broth, and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Add the chopped kale and cook another 5 minutes.
Stir in the cream.
Serve topped with shredded Parmesan and enjoy!

Notes

Serving Suggestion - I love serving this soup topped with some shredded or shaved Parmesan cheese and with a loaf of French bread. If you want to serve a salad, my Brussels Sprout and Kale Salad or Shredded Brussels Sprout and Pomegranate Salad would be great choices.

Storage - store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Slow Cooker Instructions - while this comes together super quickly on the stovetop, you can also make it in the slow cooker. Simply sauté the sausage in a pan or in the slow cooker if yours has a sauté function. Then add the sausage, onion, carrots, garlic, broth, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Add the kale and cook another 15 minutes, until wilted. Finally stir in the cream.
