Directions

Step 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving a tablespoon of bacon fat in the pot.
Step 2
Add Italian sausage to the pot and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease and set sausage aside.
Step 3
Add chopped onion to the pot with a tablespoon of bacon fat. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in thinly sliced or diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Step 5
Stir in heavy cream, cooked sausage, and chopped kale. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until kale is wilted and heated through. Do not boil once cream is added.
Step 6
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with crispy bacon bits.
