Zuppa Toscana yum

Ok so not only was this good but it was super simple and fast!
Ingredients:

1lb Italian sausage (I used the hot Italian)
1 large onion chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup white wine to deglaze the pan (I used about 1/3 and what I had in the fridge)
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
2 simi large russett potatoes (I cut 1/8 slices)
2 cups kale, chopped
3 cups chicken broth
2 1/2 cups of water
1 cup of heavy cream
salt and pepper



Directions:

Place large stockpot on medium heat. Crumble the sausage into pan and cook until well browned.
Remove the cooked sausage from the pot and transfer to a bowl (set aside), leave the grease drippings in the pot. Add chopped onion to pan and saute until tender (5-7min). Then add garlic and red pepper flakes, cook for about 1 min. Add wine to the pot and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any brown bits. Add the potatoes, kale, chicken broth, and water to the pot. Return sausage to the pot. Increase heat to med-high, bring to a boil, and the reduce to a simmer on med-low. Cover and let simmer for about 20 min, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
