A hearty and flavorful soup inspired by classic Italian flavors, perfect for a cozy meal.
Brown the sausage in a soup pot over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Ensure the sausage is fully cooked and slightly crispy for added flavor.
Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Use a low-sodium broth to control the saltiness of the soup.
Add the diced potatoes and cook until tender.
Cut the potatoes into even pieces for uniform cooking.
Stir in the kale and let it wilt.
Remove the tough stems from the kale for a smoother texture.
Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Heat through without boiling.
Adding the cream at the end prevents it from curdling.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
Serve with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
