Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) Italian sausage (mild or hot), casings removed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (if needed)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4–1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 4 cups (1 quart) low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1.5 lb potatoes, diced 1/2-inch (about 3–4 medium Yukon Gold or Russet)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for lighter)
  • 2 cups chopped kale or baby spinach (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Grated Parmesan, for serving (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up, until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed and add olive oil if the pot appears dry.
  2. Add diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Add diced potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 12–15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  4. Lower the heat and stir in heavy cream. If using, add kale or spinach and simmer for 2–3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Ladle into bowls and top with Parmesan and parsley if desired. Enjoy warm.

Notes

Let the sausage brown well for deeper flavor. For a thicker soup, mash some potatoes or blend a cup of soup and return it to the pot.
