Instructions

1
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven (affiliate link) over medium high heat. Brown the sausage until fully cooked.
2
Add the onions and garlic to the sausage. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft and fragrant. FYI your house will smell AMAZING.
3
Add the potatoes and the broth. Simmer for 7-10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. (Be careful not to let it go for too long, because the potatoes will start to get really soft.)
4
Add the kale and heavy cream. Simmer for 5 minutes until kale has wilted.
5
Season with salt and pepper, top with Parmesan for even more flavor, and dunk into that glorious broth with hot crusty bread.
