Sausage, Kale & Potato Soup

We recently moved to Nashville & experiencing seasons has been so lovely. It makes me want to make all the cozy foods, especially soup! This sausage, kale & potato soup is SO easy & SO delicious. Feel free to adapt it to turkey sausage or sub in spinach for the kale. My husband doesn’t love potatoes so for others like him, a pasta or gnocchi would go great as well!

Sausage, Kale & Potato Soup

1 lb sausage

1/2 onion 

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup half and half 

3-4 cubed yukon gold potatoes 

2 tbsp fresh thyme

Salt & pepper

Red pepper flakes

1-2 cups chopped kale

1 cup fresh parm

Juice of half a lemon 

In a soup pot or dutch oven begin to cook your sausage until starting to brown. Add in the onion & cook in with the sausage (I don’t use any oil as the sausage has enough fat). Once browned, add in 4 cups of chicken broth, the half & half and potatoes. Bring to a low simmer & season with salt, pepper, thyme & red pepper flakes. When potatoes are tender, add in kale, fresh parm & lemon juice.
