Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb spicy or sweet Italian sausage
- 4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium recommended)
- 2 cups fresh kale, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
Instructions
- 1. Sauté the Sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, cook the sliced Italian sausage until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Break it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
- 2. Add Aromatics: Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant and the onions are translucent, roughly 3 minutes.
- 3. Pour in Broth: Add the vegetable broth to the pot and bring to a gentle boil while scraping any bits off the bottom.
- 4. Add Kale: Once boiling, stir in the chopped kale. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the kale wilts but retains its vibrant color.
- 5. Stir in Cream: Lower the heat and gradually mix in the heavy cream. Stir well and let everything simmer together for another 3 minutes.
- 6. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle into bowls and garnish with freshly cracked black pepper or Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm alongside keto-friendly bread or on its own.
