Creamy Sausage and Potato Soup
Ingredients:
500 g (1 lb) ground sausage
4 medium potatoes, sliced thinly
1 medium onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups kale, chopped
1 red bell pepper, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
Cook the Sausage: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add Potatoes and Broth: Add the sliced potatoes to the pot, then pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Add the Cream and Sausage: Stir in the heavy cream and return the cooked sausage to the pot. Mix well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
Add Kale: Stir in the chopped kale and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it wilts.
Season: Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to taste.
Serve: Serve hot with crusty bread or on its own. Enjoy the creamy, hearty flavors!
