There is nothing quite like a big bowl of soup when the weather starts to turn chilly. This recipe is a favorite in our house because it is so satisfying and uses simple ingredients that everyone loves.

I find that using a good quality Italian sausage really makes the flavors pop. If you want a little extra heat, you can use a spicy sausage, but the mild version works perfectly for a family dinner.

Ingredients

1 pound Italian sausage
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups fresh kale or spinach, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2
Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
3
Add the diced onion and cook until it is soft and translucent.
4
Stir in the garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant.
5
Add the cubed potatoes and the chicken broth to the pot.
6
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender.
7
Stir in the heavy cream and the greens, cooking for just a few more minutes until the greens are wilted.
8
Season with salt and pepper to your liking and serve warm.

💡 Tips

This soup tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to blend in the fridge. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. It pairs beautifully with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
