Italian Sausage, Potato, & Kale Soup
I can eat soup all year round. I love cold and hot soup in hot weather and hot soup in cold weather.
Yesterday, when browsing through a store, I happened to find a restaurant soup recipe similar to this one but changed it to suit my taste and what I could find available at the store. It's gluten free, which does not bother me one way or the other, but I know that some of my friends eat gluten free, so this may appeal to them.
1 pound bulk mild Italian turkey sausage (I purchased mine at Publix)
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic or 1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried garlic
3 cups finely chopped curly kale
4 cups water
2 tablespoons chicken base (Better than Bouillon)
1/2 cup heavy cream
In a large Dutch oven, over medium heat, cook the turkey sausage and the onion until the sausage is no longer pink. Add the garlic or garlic powder, potatoes, kale, water and chicken base. Bring to a boil, and simmer covered until potatoes are tender. This should take about 15-20 minutes. Add heavy cream, bring the temperature back up to simmer. Remove from heat and serve.
Enjoy!
