I just love a good pot of soup in winter and this one did not disappoint!

1 pound sausage, hot or not, your choice

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 yellow onion, chopped

4 russet potatoes, diced

pinch salt

pinch pepper

4 cups chicken broth

1 bunch kale, stems removed and torn into bite size pieces (left this out, we’re not kale fans, I thought about replacing it with spinach, maybe next time)

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, I used evaporated milk instead to take down the calorie count

1/4 cup shredded Parmesan for topping

1  Brown and crumble sausage over medium high heat for about 5 – 8 minutes.  Add onion and garlic and cook for 2 – 3 more minutes.  Drain grease.

2  In a large crock pot, add sausage and onions plus diced potatoes.  Pour chicken broth in, making sure there is enough to cover potatoes, if not add water until potatoes are covered.  Stir to combine.

3  Cook on low for 5 – 6 hours or on high for 3 – 4 hours.

4  Add kale and cream to pot, stir then cook on high for another 30 minutes.

5  Serve topped with the Parmesan.
