Instructions

Cook the Sausage: Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and fully done, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks.
Add Aromatics: Stir in the onion and garlic. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the onions are soft and fragrant.
Simmer the Potatoes: Add the potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 7–10 minutes, just until the potatoes become tender.
Finish the Soup: Stir in the kale and heavy cream. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the kale to soften and the flavors to blend.

Season and Serve: Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls, top with Parmesan, and serve with warm crusty bread.
