Ingredients

  • 4 yukon gold potatoes chopped into 1/4" thick rounds
  • 6 oz bacon chopped
  • 1 lb sausage (bratwurst or italian sausage, use hot italian sausage if like spice)
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth/stock (32 oz)
  • 4 cups greens (kale or spinach)
  • ¼ cup cream (oat milk as a plant-based alternative)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • Parmesan cheese to serve optional

Instructions

  • Slice the potatoes into rounds. Cut rounds in half if too large, and set aside.
  • In a large pot or dutch oven over high heat add the bacon and cook until crisp. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Drain excess fat but don't wipe it entirely clean. Leave a little bit of the oil in the pan.
  • Add the sausage to the pan and break up into crumbles. Cook until crisp and cooked through. Remove to a bowl for later use. Drain excess fat, but don't wipe entirely clean.
  • Add in the diced onion and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
  • Add 4 cups chicken broth and the sliced potatoes. Cook for 10 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
  • Turn the heat down and add back in the sausage crumbles. Add the greens and cook until wilted. (Kale will take several minutes, spinach should wilt pretty immediately).
  • Remove from the heat and stir in
