Ingredients Tap to check off
Instructions
1
Set a 5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat with the olive oil to warm.
2
While the oil warms, dice the yellow onion and leave it on the board.
3
Squeeze the sausage from its casings straight into the shimmering oil, breaking it into small bite-sized pieces with a wooden spoon.
4
Brown the sausage 6 minutes, stirring every minute or so, until deeply golden at the edges with no pink left.
5
While the sausage browns, halve the potatoes lengthwise and cut into thin quarter-inch half-moons, then mince the garlic.
6
Tilt the pot and spoon off all but about 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat into a heatproof mug to discard.
7
Add the onion to the sausage and cook 4 minutes, stirring often, until soft, translucent, and picking up the browned bits.
8
While the onion softens, strip the kale leaves from their stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
9
Stir in the garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking 1 minute until the garlic smells sweet and turns pale gold.
10
Add the potatoes, broth, salt, and pepper, then raise the heat to high and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes.
11
Reduce the heat to medium-low, set the lid slightly ajar, and simmer 12 minutes until a potato slice breaks apart easily against the spoon.
12
While the soup simmers, halve the lemon, keeping one half for the soup and wrapping the other for another meal.
13
Stir the kale into the soup and simmer uncovered 4 to 5 minutes until the leaves turn dark green, soft, and silky.
14
Lower the heat to low and stir in the cream, warming 1 minute until the broth turns pale and silky without boiling.
15
Pull the pot off the heat, squeeze in the lemon juice, then ladle into bowls and top each with parmesan.
