Print Recipe

Indulge in the homemade goodness of this Potato Kale Soup, a delightful creation inspired by the classic dish at The Olive Garden. Easy to whip up, this soup boasts the most scrumptious zesty Italian flavors, offering a comforting and downright yummy dining experience!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage (I recommend spicy)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium white onion, peeled and diced
  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
  • 5 to 6 cups chicken stock
  • 2 to 3 cups chopped fresh kale
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • fine sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper
  • 6 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled, for topping

 

Instructions

  1. Cook sausage in a large stockpot over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, breaking the sausage into small pieces as it cooks. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked sausage to a separate plate, reserving 1 tablespoon grease in the stockpot for later*, and discarding the excess grease. Set aside.
  2. Add onions to the stockpot (with the grease), and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add garlic, and sauté for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the potatoes, chicken stock, and cooked sausage, and continue cooking until the mixture reaches a simmer.  Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Stir in the kale and cream, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with the bacon bits.
