Ingredients

6 ounces bacon chopped into 1” pieces
1 pound hot Italian sausage
1 medium onion finely diced
1 bulb garlic minced
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
8 cups chicken stock low sodium
6 cups kale roughly chopped
2 17- ounce packages fresh gnocchi
1 cup whipping cream

Instructions

In a large pot over medium high heat, add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer cooked bacon to a plate with paper towel for later.
Leave bacon grease in cook sausage fully breaking it apart into bite sized pieces, then transfer to a separate plate.
Remove all but a thin layer of grease in the pan and cook onion for about 5 minutes.
Add in garlic and ground pepper and cook until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and add the cooked sausage, kale, gnocchi and whipping cream.
Stir to combine. Serve with bacon on top.

Notes

Heat the heavy cream over low heat to prevent it from curdling or separating.
Try making this sausage potato kale soup in the slow cooker instead of on the stovetop.
Avoid reheating leftovers in the microwave, as it can make the soup separate.
