The ingredients for Potato, Kale and Italian Sausage Soup are:

Ingredients:

3 Italian sweet and/or hot sausages (I have also used metwurst!)
5 medium potatoes, cut in half lengthwise and sliced into 1/4" slices
1 large sweet potato, peeled and chunked into 1/4" - 1/2" pieces
1 large onion, diced
3 slices of bacon, sliced into 1/4" pieces
2+ teaspoons of minced garlic
3 1/2 cups of sliced kale (about 1 big bunch)
3 quarts chicken stock
rosemary, black pepper, salt - to taste
(crushed red pepper optional if you want more zing; in a pinch I've used herbes de Provence when out of plain rosemary, really changes it up!)

Here is how you make Potato, Kale and Italian Sausage Soup:

Poke some holes into the sausages and fry over medium heat until cooked through. Cut lengthwise and then into 1/2" slices. Set aside. Saute the onions and bacon in the same pan used for the sausages. Once onions are translucent and the bacon almost done, add in the garlic and cook for a few minutes (be careful not to get overly brown). Remove onion/garlic/bacon mixture from pan and pour drippings into the soup pot with the chicken stock. Add potatoes and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender; add bacon, sausage, onions, garlic, rosemary, black pepper (and crushed red pepper if you'd like). Simmer for about 15 minutes or so; add kale and simmer for another 5 minutes. Taste to adjust seasonings.
