I have this written down but I’m doing it by memory, I don’t have perfect measurements because a lot of this is eyeballing. 1lb ground mild sausage, about 1/4 large bag of kale, I like kale. 8 cups of chicken broth, the recipe I use calls for bacon. I personally skip the bacon. 1/2 a Vidalia onion diced, 3 cloves of garlic chopped, 3 large russet potatoes sliced thinly. I brown the sausage, remove and drain. I add the garlic and onion to the pan and sauté. I add a sprinkle of flour and mix, then I add the chicken broth. Then I add the potatoes and cook for ten minutes. I added the sausage back in, and added the kale. At the end I added the cream. I don’t typically use much, as I’m lactose intolerant and it doesn’t sit well with my tummy, but add as much as you like! I add a little bit of salt and red pepper flakes. But WATCH THOSE PEPPER FLAKES
