Zuppa Toscana

I could eat soup every single day and never get tired of it. Loron, on the other hand, doesn't believe it is man food! But, he claimed he could eat this one all the time and be perfectly satisfied!

Ingredients:

1lb Italian Sausage--browned, and if you use links, slice it thin rounds
3 C diced potatoes
1 small onion -- minced
1 1/2-2 tsp minced garlic
Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes (Do more or less depending on how much heat you like)
Pinch of Salt
Ground Black Pepper
4-5 C chicken broth (Make sure you have enough to cover the potatoes when cooking)
2-3 C chopped kale
3/4-1 C heavy cream

In a large pot add a couple of tsp of olive oil and saute the onions and garlic. Add the broth, potatoes, and seasoning. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender.
Add sausage and kale. Let cook for just a minute, the kale will soften up. Add cream. Serve.
