In a large pot, over medium-high heat, add the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a rubber spatula and cook until browned. Remove the sausage to paper towel lined plate to allow excess fat to drain.
-
Add the minced onion to the pot. Sauté for 5 min or until soft and translucent and then add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 min.
-
Add 4 cups broth and 6 cups water, and bring to boil. Add chopped potatoes and cook for 15 minutes or until tender when poked with a fork.
-
When potatoes are nearly done, add chopped kale and cooked sausage and bring everything to a light boil.
-
Stir in 1 cup cream and bring to boil for a short time. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat.
-
For each serving, garnish with crumbled bacon and grated parmesan cheese.

*Short cut we love to use the precooked bacon crumbles for the garnish in this recipe. It’s a time saver.
