Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups potatoes, diced
- 1 lb sausage, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 cups kale, chopped
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Dice the potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes. Toss the potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Spread them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- While potatoes are roasting, heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté chopped onions and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Pour chicken broth into the pot, then add the chopped kale. Simmer for 10 minutes until kale becomes tender.
- Add the roasted potatoes and browned sausage back into the pot. Stir to combine and let simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Let the soup rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Ladle into bowls and serve hot, optionally garnishing with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese.
Tips
- For maximum flavor, use high-quality sausage with robust seasoning—Italian or spicy varieties work best.
- Make sure to cut potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even roasting and consistent texture.
- Don't rush the roasting process—golden, crispy edges are key to adding depth to your soup.
- If you want extra richness, consider using bone broth instead of regular chicken broth.
- Fresh kale is crucial—avoid pre-packaged, wilted greens for the best taste and nutrition.
- Let the soup rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld together perfectly.
- Optional garnishes like fresh parsley or grated Parmesan can elevate the dish's presentation and taste.
