TUSCAN SOUP

List of Ingredients




Serves 6


1 pound (about) spicy sausage

1 slice of bacon, diced into 1/4-inch pieces

3/4 cup onions, diced 1/8-inch thick

1 1/4 teaspoons minced garlic

1 quart rich chicken stock, or 1 fluid ounce chicken base mixed with 1 quart water

2 medium potatoes, cut in half lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch slices

2 cups kale, cut in half, then sliced into 1/16-inch strips

1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

Place the sausage on a baking sheet and lightly prick the skins. Bake in a 300-degree oven for 15 minutes, or until well-done. Cut in half lengthwise, then slice. Measure out 1 1/2 cups. Place bacon and onions in a 3- to 4-quart saucepan and cook over medium heat until the onions are almost clear. Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute. Add the chicken stock and potatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cook 15 minutes. Add the sausage, greens and whipping cream, and simmer 5 more minutes before serving.
