Sausage Potato and Kale Soup

This Sausage Potato and Kale Soup recipe is really quick, easy, and budget-friendly.  I purchased everything for the recipe from Aldi’s.  It’s spicy, creamy and hearty.

Heat oil in large dutch oven or pot and brown the Italian sausage. Add onions, garlic and spices cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the broth and bay leaf.

Bring to a boil and add the potatoes.

I used baby kale. You can use any kale you like or even spinach.

The spice level is up to you. I used mild sausage and added a 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.

Stir in the kale until it begins to wilt then add the cream. Serve and enjoy the depth of flavor this sausage potato and kale soup provides.
