Servings: 10 people
Ingredients
- ½ pound bacon
- 3 cans (14 ounces) Chicken broth
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 lb Italian Sausage
- 4 russet potatoes
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 ½ cups kale or chopped spinach
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook ½ pound bacon for 5 minutes and crumble it. Set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel. Cook 1 lb Italian Sausage and set aside.
- Skin each of the 4 russet potatoes. Slice the potatoes in half, then lay the halves down and cut those into quarter-inch slices so they’re 1/4-inch thick half circles. Or, quarter the potatoes, then slice those into 1/4-inch thick quarter circles, making the potatoes more bite-sized.
- Bring a large pot with 3 cans (14 ounces) Chicken broth to a boil. Boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes or until tender.
- While the potatoes boil, saute 1 medium onion and 2 garlic cloves for about 5-7 minutes or until tender and set aside.
- Once potatoes are tender, add sausage, onion, garlic, bacon, and 2 ½ cups kale to the pot. Boil for 2-3 minutes until the kale starts to wilt. Reduce heat and add 2 cups heavy cream.
- Cook for 10 minutes or until heated through, and add salt and pepper to taste.
