Description

A rich, slow-cooked Italian-inspired soup with savory Italian sausage, tender potatoes, and nutrient-packed kale in a creamy broth. Perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Italian sausage meat (mild or spicy; halal or turkey alternative)
1 small onion (finely diced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
3 cups low sodium chicken broth (vegetable broth optional)
1 lb russet or gold potatoes (peeled and diced)
1/2 tsp salt
Black pepper to taste
2 cups crumbled kale
2 tbsp heavy cream (optional)
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)


Instructions

Brown Italian sausage in a skillet until no longer pink. Add onion and garlic; sauté until fragrant.
Transfer mixture to crockpot and add broth, potatoes, salt, and pepper.
Cook on low for 3-5 hours (high for 1-2 hours) until potatoes are tender.
Stir in kale during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Finish with heavy cream and Parmesan cheese (optional) before serving.

Notes

Use halal or turkey sausage for dietary restrictions.
Substitute vegetable broth for a vegetarian option.
Add kale just before the final 30 minutes to prevent overcooking.
For extra richness, stir in 2 tbsp heavy cream or halved pearled onions.
