Ingredients:
1 pound Spicy Italian sausage
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 white onion, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
5 yellow potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups heavy cream
4 cups spinach leaves, chopped
chopped bacon - optional topping
grated Parmesan cheese - optional topping


Directions:
In a large pot saute sausage 5-6 minutes until browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sausage to a plate and set aside.

In the same pot, add butter and saute onions over medium heat until translucent. Add garlic and saute for another minute until fragrant.

Add chicken broth, water, potatoes, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Boil until potatoes are tender. Stir in kale, and heavy cream. Add sausage. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Serve garnished with grated parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes
The sausage: if you have regular ground sausage, simply add 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning or Herbs de Provence + a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
