Serves 6

INGREDIENTS
1 pound mild Italian sausage

1 small onion diced

3-4 cloves garlic minced
2 pounds Russet potatoes, diced slightly cooked first
6 cups low-sodium chicken stock
3 cups chopped kale or spinach
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup parmesan cheese, shredded
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Olive oil, for garnish

How to Make it:

Brown and crumble Italian sausage in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon from pot. Next cook your onions and garlic till slightly golden. Then you can drain the oil if there is a lot or you want, if there isn't much I leave it for flavor.

Return sausage to pot and add potatoes, chicken stock, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.

Use a slotted spoon to remove ½ of potatoes from pot. In a separate bowl, mash potatoes then return them to the pot. Stir in kale or spinach leaves, heavy cream, and more salt and pepper, to taste. Cook until kale is tender, about 2-3 minutes.

To serve, garnish with shredded parmesan cheese, freshly cracked black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
