📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cook sausage in a large stockpot over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, breaking the sausage into small pieces as it cooks. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked sausage to a separate plate, reserving 1 tablespoon grease in the stockpot for later*, and discarding the excess grease. (I actually like to briefly rinse my cooked sausage in a strainer to remove even more excess grease.) Set aside.
2
Add onions to the stockpot (with the grease), and sauté for ⏱️ 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, and sauté for ⏱️ 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Add the potatoes, chicken stock, and cooked sausage, and continue cooking until the mixture reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for ⏱️ 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir in the kale and cream, and simmer for an additional ⏱️ 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3
Serve warm, garnished with the bacon bits.
