Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 (16 oz) roll hot sausage use mild if desired
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt plus more to taste, if necessary
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 (32 oz) cartons chicken broth
  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cubed (approximately 1/2 - 1 inch cubes)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups roughly chopped kale tough stems removed
  • 1/2 cup finely grated romano asiago, and parmesan cheese blend

Instructions

  • Lay bacon in an even layer in a large stockpot.
  • Cook over medium/medium-high heat until crispy.
  • Remove bacon, crumble, and set aside.
  • Drain the grease from the stockpot.
  • Re-heat the stockpot over medium/medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, add in sausage, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook, breaking up the meat as you go, until the sausage is cooked through and no longer pink.
  • Stir in chicken broth and potatoes.
  • Bring to a simmer.
  • Cover and simmer (you'll probably need to lower the heat back to low) until the potatoes are cooked, about 15 - 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in cooked and crumbled bacon, cream, kale, and cheese blend.
  • Taste and re-season, if necessary.
  • Enjoy!
