Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 4 medium potatoes diced
  • 2 cups kale chopped (or spinach)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream optional
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving optional

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the diced potatoes, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Stir in the chopped kale (or spinach) and cook for an additional 5 minutes until wilted.
  5. If using, stir in the heavy cream and heat through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
