A hearty, comforting soup filled with potatoes, Italian turkey sausage, and fresh kale.
Servings: 8 Servings
Ingredients
- 4 strips thick-cut bacon cut into ½-inch pieces (Note 1)
- 1 pound turkey Italian sausage (Note 2)
- 4 to 5 large yukon gold potatoes unpeeled and cut into ½-inch cubes (Note 3)
- ½ cup green onion tops chopped
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 8 cups chicken broth low FODMAP version
- 6 cups curly kale middle stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
- ¾ cup heavy cream (Note 4)
- 1 tablespoon garlic infused olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- shaved parmesan cheese and fresh cracked black pepper for optional toppings
Instructions
- In a 5 quart Dutch oven over medium heat, fry the ½ inch bacon pieces until the fat is rendered out and fully cooked. Remove and drain on a paper towel-covered plate. Soak up any remaining grease with paper towels.
- Next, cook Italian sausage in the same pot. Break into small pieces. Cook over medium heat until no pink remains.
- While cooking the sausage, wash the potatoes well. Leave the potatoes unpeeled and cut them into ½-inch cubes.
- Once the sausage is cooked, pour the 8 cups of chicken broth. Add in the cooked bacon, chopped potatoes, green onions, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper.
- Cook on medium heat for fifteen minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Wash the kale and remove the stems. Roughly tear into bite-sized pieces.
- Add kale to the soup. Cook for one to two minutes or until wilted.
- Remove the soup from the heat and add the heavy cream, garlic oil, and the lemon juice. Stir.
- Serve immediately—top bowls with fresh parmesan cheese, and fresh cracked black pepper if wanted.
