1 pound mild Italian sausage

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

5 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces

1 large yellow onion, finely diced

1 tablespoon garlic, minced

4 cups (32 ounces) chicken broth

4-6 medium (about 1 ¾ pounds) Yukon Gold potatoes, diced

1 ½ cups heavy cream

3 cups fresh kale leaves, chopped and stems removed (packed)

salt and pepper, to taste

¼ cup grated parmesan, for garnish

To a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add sausage and red pepper flakes. Cook until the sausage is browned, using a wooden spoon to break up the meat, and stir occasionally (about 10-15 minutes).

Transfer the cooked sausage to a bowl. Cover to keep warm.

To the same pot, add the bacon and cook until crisp (about 10-15 minutes). Drain most of the grease from the pot, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Transfer the cooked bacon to the bowl of sausage. Cover to keep warm.

To the same pot, add the onions and cook until translucent (about 5-8 minutes).

Add the garlic and cook 1 minute.

Add the chicken broth, cooked sausage, and cooked bacon to the pot. Stir to combine.

Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add potatoes and cook until fork tender (about 15 minutes).

Reduce heat to medium. Add in heavy cream and kale. Simmer until softened (about 5 minutes).

Salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm, topped with grated parmesan cheese for garnish.
