• 1 lb ground Italian sausage
• 1½ tsp crushed red peppers • 1 large diced white onion
• 4 Tbsp bacon pieces
• 2 tsp garlic puree or minced
• 10 cups water
• 5 cubes of chicken bouillon
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 lb sliced Russet potatoes, or about 3 large potatoes
• ¼ of a bunch of kale
Directions:
1. Sauté Italian sausage and crushed red pepper in a large pot. Drain excess fat, refrigerate while you prepare other ingredients.
2. In the same pan, sauté bacon, onions and garlic over low-medium heat for approximately 15 mins. or until the onions are soft.
3. Add chicken bouillon and water to the pot and heat until it starts to boil.
4. Add the sliced potatoes and cook until soft, about half an hour.
5. Add the heavy cream and just cook until thoroughly heated.
6. Stir in the sausage and the kale, let all heat through and serve. Delicious! (I didn’t use the kale because it’s more for looks but you can do whatever you prefer)
Makes: 6-8 servings

I made this last night. My husband isn't really a soup lover, but loved it. I liked it and will probably make it again with these changes:
ReplyDeleteIt was a little too spicy for me. I used ground red peppers, and will only add 1/2 tsp. next time. I put in a whole pkg. of bacon for two reasons. First, you can't go wrong with bacon, secondly, what am I going to do with a few bacon strips?
You liked it?!?! cool! nice mom! i'm glad you are liking the cooking blog! Thanks for the suggestions! I still need to try this. If dad liked it, then i bet i will too!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it! It is very spicy but, my husband loves that. We put it in bread bowls which helped with me the spicyness.
