INGREDIENTS
Tuscan Kale + Sausage Soup
10 Slices bacon, diced
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 lb Ground Italian sausage, mild or spicy ( or both!)
1 Medium yellow onion, diced
6 Cloves garlic, about 1 tablespoon
32 oz Chicken stock
1 tbsp Chili powder
2 Large russet potatoes, peeled, 1/2-inch sliced then each slice quartered, about 1 1/2 lbs
3-4 Medium zucchini, roughly 1 lbs
1 cup Heavy cream
2 Bunch kale, stem removed roughly chopped or torn into bite sized pieces, roughly 6 cups
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Salt, adjust to taste
1/4 tsp Pepper, adjust to taste
1 tsp Red pepper flakes
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Chop the bacon into bit sizes. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until browned and crispy. Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a bowl, set aside. Keep the bacon drippings.
2. In a separate dutch oven, heat olive oil on medium-high heat. Roll your sausage into balls or chunks and slowly add to the dutch oven and let cook for 10 minutes or until completely cooked. Using a slotted spoon, remove and set aside.
3. After all the sausage has been cooked, add 2 tablespoons of the the bacon drippings and add the chopped onions. Cook until translucent and fragrant. Then add the garlic and cook for about 3 minutes.
4. While the onions and garlic are cooking, add a little chicken stock to the dutch oven and use a whisk to scrap the bottom. Add chili powder, smoked paprika, and chopped potatoes. Turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil. Let this boil for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and boil for 5 minutes longer, add the cooked sausage, 3/4 of the bacon, heavy cream, kale, zucchinis and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Stir and cook for 5 minutes or until kale is wilted.
*Tip.. add the kale to the top and let it slowly wilt before folding it into your soup.
* If your soup gets a little thick, add more chicken stock.
Add the salt and pepper, adjust to taste. Serve in bowls, topped with remaining bacon, remaining parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
