Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 lb ground hot Italian sausage (mild will work if you’re scared of the heat)
2 large russet baking potatoes, cubed
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups kale, torn by hand ( I use spinach)
2 cans chicken broth
4 cups of water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
Fry up the hot Italian sausage, drain the fat and set it aside when done.

In a large stock pot: add your onions, potatoes, garlic, chicken broth and water. Cover and bring it to a boil, and then reduce to medium heat. Cook until potatoes are done, about 30 minutes.

Add the cooked hot Italian sausage to the pot. Let boil for ten minutes. Then add the kale, simmer for another ten minutes. Make sure you don’t add the stems to the soup. I have found the kale to still be a little too crunchy so I simmer for twenty minutes.

Bring the simmer down to a lower heat and add your cream and red pepper flakes. Heat through, I usually let it go from another ten or so minutes.
