Directions:
1. In a large pot (e.g., 8 qt stock pot), boil sliced potatoes until tender. Drain and set aside. (Cooking the potatoes separately prevents the soup from being too starchy.)

2. In a large pot or dutch oven (at least 6 quarts), add the sausage and onion. Crumble and brown the sausage. Drain as much fat as possible.

3. Add crushed red pepper, oregano, and broth. Then add the milk and half-and-half. Stir. Simmer for 30 minutes on med-low or medium heat.

4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (e.g., add salt, pepper). Add potatoes and a splash of heavy cream. Bring up to heat.

5. Add kale. Simmer 10-15 minutes until Kale is tender. Serve.
