Instructions
In a large pot, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.
Brown the Italian sausage in the same pot, breaking it into small pieces.
Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until fragrant.
Stir in sliced potatoes and chicken broth. Simmer until potatoes are tender.
Lower heat and stir in heavy cream.
Add chopped kale and let it wilt gently.
Return bacon to the pot, season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
Serve hot with Parmesan and crusty bread.
Notes
- Add red pepper flakes or hot sausage for extra heat. Swap kale for spinach if preferred. For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. To make it gluten-free, ensure broth and sausage are certified gluten-free.
