Zuppa Toscana

This is my favorite soup when it is cold outside!

Ingredients:

1 lb ground Italian sausage
1½ tsp crushed red peppers
1 large diced white onion
4 Tbsp bacon pieces
2 tsp garlic puree
1 quart of chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
1 lb sliced Russet potatoes, or about 5 large potatoes
¼ of a bunch of kale

Saute italian sausage and red peppers, put aside. In the same pot add onion, garlic and bacon. Saute until onions are soft, add chicken stock and potatoes; bring to a boil. Cook potatoes until soft. Add sausage, cream & kale; warm back up and serve!!
