Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 ½ cups spicy sausage links (I used 6 breakfast sausage links because it was what I had and because my family doesn't like Italia); 6 slices bacon; ¾ cup onion, diced; 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic; chicken broth (I used 3 small cans, a different recipe used bouillon cubes or crystals and water to make equivalent); 2 medium potatoes, sliced up 1/4 inch and then halve the slices (use more next time for a heartier soup); 12-1 teaspoon fennel seed (or to taste, I found this to be the secret to the distinct flavoring of the soup); 2 cups kale leaves, sliced thinly (spinach can be substituted, I only used 2 large pinches of crinkly kale leaves my family isn't big o); 1 cup heavy whipping cream (try fat free half and half); parmesan cheese (to garnish)
