Instructions
- In a skillet set over medium heat, cook the sausage until no pink remains, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the excess grease and discard it in the trash after it cools. (Don’t ever pour grease down the drain!)
- Add the cooked sausage, frozen potatoes, chicken broth, pepper, and salt to the slow cooker. Set the slow cooker to high and cook until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have combined, about 3 1/2 hours.
- Add the chopped kale and heavy cream to the slow cooker and stir gently to combine. Continue cooking until the kale is tender, about 30 minutes.,Stir this soup gently to help the potatoes maintain their structure and to avoid making mashed potatoes.
- Taste and season with more salt as desired. Serve with your favorite toppings alongside a few slices of crusty bread.,Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days or the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen leftovers in the fridge overnight. Reheat in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until warmed through.,Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
