Cooking Steps
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and the Italian sausage. Cook until brown and crumbly, around 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Stir occasionally for about 3-5 minutes until the onion turns translucent.
  3. Toss in the sliced russet potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes.
  4. Fold in the chopped kale and heavy cream, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the kale wilts.
