Ingredients
- 3 slices Bacon chopped
- 1 lb kielbasa or smoked sausage sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 bunch Kale chopped
- 8 cups good chicken stock
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
- salt and pepper to taste
- 5 medium potatoes
Instructions
- Heat dutch oven or saute pan over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes.
- Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and add in onions and cook until translucent. 3-4 minutes.
- Remove onions with a slotted spoon and add olive oil (if no fat left in pan). Cook sausage on each side to quickly sear to a light golden brown. Only about 1 minute per side.
- If using dutch oven add remaining uncooked ingredients and onion and simmer for 30 minutes. If using a saute pan transfer sausage and onion to pot and add remaining uncooked ingredients. Simmer for 30 minutes over low.
- Top with bacon and enjoy!
Notes
- This uses kielbasa or smoked sausage, however you can easily substitute for Italian sausage or other ground sausage
- I use lacinto kale here, but you can easily substitute out for tuscan kale.
- Storage: this freezes well, I suggest using within 2 months. Or keeps in fridge for about 5 days.
