Ingredients

1 lb ground hot sausage
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon flour
2 cartons (32 oz each) Progresso™ chicken broth
6 Russet potatoes
1 cup heavy cream
6 cups torn kale pieces

Steps

1

In a large soup pot over medium heat, add the sausage. Cook until the sausage begins to brown, crumbling it up with a wooden spoon.
2

As the sausage cooks, wash the potatoes and cut each in half lengthwise. Slice into ¼-inches slices.
3

When sausage is broken and beginning to brown, add onion and garlic to the pan and continue cooking until the sausage is cooked through and the onions are translucent.
4

Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to combine thoroughly. Then stir in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
5

Once soup is boiling, add potatoes to the pot. Cook for 20 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
6

Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and kale. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve warm.
