Ingredients

  • 1 lb mild Italian sausage, ground
  • 1 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 large diced onion
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 5 (13.75 oz) cans chicken broth
  • 6 potatoes, sliced thin
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • spinach or kale, stems removed

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large pan, cook the sausage with the red pepper until browned and crumbly. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the bacon in a large pot until crisp, leaving the drippings for the soup. Remove bacon and cook onion and garlic in drippings until clear.

3. Pour the chicken broth into the pot. Add garlic and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and boil until tender, about 20 minutes.

4. Reduce heat to medium and stir in the cooked sausage and the cream. Mix in spinach or kale right before serving.
