Serves 8
This is a recipe similar to Olive Garden's that uses bacon instead of bacon bits and a spicy Italian sausage, pared down to serve 8. Equally yummy! Great served with a crunchy bread or breadsticks.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. spicy Italian sausage
- ½ lb. bacon, chopped
- 2 large Russet potatoes (or 5-6 smaller ones), scrubbed clean and chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cups Kale, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 7 cups water
- 3 Chicken bouillon cubes
- 1 cup heavy whipped cream
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
