Servings: persons

1 small yellow onion
1 1/2 pounds pork sausage
6-8 russet potatoes
32 ounces chicken broth
4 cups water
10.5 ounces cream of chicken soup (1 can)
1 1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic (jar)
2 bay leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
3 cups fresh kale
crumbled bacon
shaved parmesan

1
Slice onion into smaller pieces and place in skillet on stove with two tablespoons of salted butter. Cook on medium until onions start to soften. Set aside.
2
Brown the sausage. We sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes in with the sausage!
3
Slice the potatoes with the skin on. Do not cut into too small slices because as they cook down they shrink!
4
Place sliced onions, sausage, sliced potatoes, chicken broth, water, cream of chicken, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, bay leaves, and salt and pepper in a stock pot. Cook on medium to high until potatoes are soft. After potatoes are soft taste the base of your soup and add more salt and pepper to your liking!
5
Time for garnishes! Frozen bacon is so much easier to work with. It slices pretty nice when its froze! Slice bacon with kitchen scissors into 1 inch pieces and cook until crispy!
6
Add the heavy whipping cream and chopped kale into the soup and heat until heated through. Serve immediately.
7
Garnish soup with crumbled bacon, shaved parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes!
