Zuppa Tuscana (like Olive Garden's)

1 lb ground sausage (regular or spicy, I use regular)
3 large red potatoes, sliced in half and then sliced into 1/4 inch thick slices
1 large onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 bunch kale, chopped
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Brown sausage in large soup pot. Remove sausage and set aside. To the pot add chicken broth, potatoes, onion, and garlic and bring to a boil. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Add cream and sausage to the pot and warm through (Do not boil). Add kale several minutes before serving (it doesn't soften like spinach, it pretty much keeps its form). Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese when served.

Serves about 6
