Instructions

In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for 2–3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and add diced potatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the heavy cream and kale or spinach. Simmer for a few more minutes until the greens are wilted and tender.
Season with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Serve hot with crusty bread or Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Use ground turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter version.
Try sweet potatoes or cauliflower instead of regular potatoes.
Substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
Top with shredded mozzarella or Parmesan for added richness.
Cool completely before storing in airtight containers. Refrigerate for 3–4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
