Total time: 1 h 5 min
Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 1 pound Italian sausage; 4 slices bacon, chopped; 1 medium yellow onion, diced; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 4 cups chicken broth; 2 cups water; 5 medium red potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds; 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes; Salt and black pepper, to taste; 2 cups chopped kale; 1 cup heavy cream; Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Instructions

Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and break it into small pieces as it cooks until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a plate lined with a paper towel.
In the same pot, add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pot and set it aside for later.
Add diced onions to the pot and cook for 5-7 minutes until they are soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth and water into the pot. Add the sliced potatoes, red pepper flakes, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Return the cooked Italian sausage and bacon to the pot. Stir in the chopped kale and cook until it has wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Allow the soup to simmer gently for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
