Make this hearty, one-pot Italian Sausage Soup featuring potatoes and kale in a creamy broth. It is a quick, comforting meal perfect for weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, diced small
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups chopped kale, stems removed
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth. Add the diced potatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and chopped kale. Cook until the kale wilts, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the soup is creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Serve hot with crusty bread.

Notes

  • For a spicier soup, use hot Italian sausage instead of sweet.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mash a few of the cooked potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the cream.
  • This recipe is a good base for other additions like white beans or small pasta like ditalini or orzo; add pasta with the broth and cook according to package directions.
