Ingredients
  

  • 5 Hot Italian Sausages Removed from Casings (Approximately 1lbs)
  • 1.5 Litres Chicken Broth Preferably Homemade
  • 3 Russet Potatoes Cubed
  • 1 Small White Onion Diced
  • 3-4 Cloves of Garlic Minced
  • 1 Healthy handful of freshly grated parmesan cheese

Method
 

  1. Brown your hot Italian sausage in a stock pot over medium-high heat. Strain most of the fat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and add diced onion and minced garlic. Stir for 2 minutes, until translucent
  3. Add fennel seeds and red pepper flakes. Toss until fragrant.
  4. Add chicken broth, scrapping any browned bits off the bottom of your pan. Add cubed potatoes, cover - and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender.
  5. Add cream, shredded kale, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper (to taste).
  6. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes - until kale is soft and vibrant.
  7. Serve with an additional sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
  8. Enjoy!
