Instructions
Creating this amazing Sausage Potato and Kale Soup is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
1. Brown the Sausage: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned. Break it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
2. Add Onions and Garlic: Once the sausage is browned, add the diced onion and cook until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Incorporate Potatoes: Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and stir well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to slightly soften the potatoes.
4. Pour in Broth: Add the chicken or vegetable broth, then season with thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil.
5. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
6. Add Kale: Stir in the chopped kale and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing it to wilt and soften.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
8. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
