Ingredients
  • Mild italian sausage – 1 pound
  • Low Sodium Chicken Broth – 64 oz, plus 1 can of regular chicken broth, if needed
  • Potatoes – 4 to 5 medium size potatoes, scrubbed and diced finely with skins - It’s recommended to use Yukon, but I used red potatoes and thought it tasted great!

  • Parmesan – grated, to taste
Instructions
  1. Set slow cooker to high temperature. Add chicken broth to your slow cooker,
  2. On the stove top, in a skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat. Cook until no longer pink. Drain half of the fat.
  3. Add sausage to the slow cooker with the broth.
  4. Add diced potatoes to the slow cooker. Stir well.
  5. Cook on high for 3.5 to 4 hours.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, add heavy cream and your bite size pieces of kale. Stir well and do not open again until serving.
  7. Garnish with shredded parmesan or other favorite cheese.
