Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (if needed)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 cup chopped kale or spinach (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add olive oil if the sausage is lean.
  2. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  3. Add diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add diced potatoes, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and chopped kale or spinach if using. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm, topped with grated Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Use turkey sausage for a lighter option.
  • Mash some of the potatoes in the pot for a thicker texture.
  • Add red pepper flakes for extra heat.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth or milk if needed.
