Course: Soup

Cuisine: American

Servings:

1 lb mild Italian sausage (casing removed, I buy it with no casing from the store)
1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 small onion , diced
2 garlic cloves , pressed
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
salt and black pepper to taste ( I usually use 1 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper)
1 lb small new potatoes or red potatoes , diced
6 cups chicken broth (alternatively use water and chicken bullion)
1 bunch of kale , washed and chopped
1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, I sometimes omit it to reduce the calories in the soup)

In a deep pot, heat oil over medium heat.
Add sausage. Cook for 5 minutes, until brown, stirring frequently to crumble it while it cooks.
Add onion and garlic, stir to combine. Add oregano, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add chicken stock and bring soup to a boil. Add potatoes. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are fully cooked.
Add kale and cook for 2 more minutes, then add cream. Stir.
Add more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot.
