List of components:
1 onion, chopped into small pieces
3 pieces of garlic, finely chopped
4 cups of chicken broth, which is equivalent to 1 liter.
1 pound (450 grams) of Italian sausage meat (or ground beef seasoned with Italian herbs)
Cut 4 pieces of turkey bacon into small pieces.
4 potatoes of medium size, cut into thin slices or small cubes.
2 cups of heavy cream or milk (480 ml)
2 cups of chopped kale or spinach, which is about 100 grams.
1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes (if desired)
Add salt and pepper according to your preference.
Fresh parsley, finely chopped (to sprinkle on top)
Instructions:
Prepare the meat for cooking.
In a big pot on medium heat, cook the Italian sausage or seasoned ground beef until it turns brown. Cut it into small pieces while it cooks. Take out and keep to the side.
Make turkey bacon and cook aromatic ingredients in a pan.
In the same pan, cook the turkey bacon until it is crispy. Take out and keep separate.
Put the chopped onion in the pot and cook until it becomes soft, for around 5 minutes. Add the chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute until it smells good.
Include potatoes and broth.
Put the potatoes in the pot with the chicken broth. Heat until boiling, then lower the heat and let it cook gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.
Create a creamy texture:
Add the heavy cream or milk and put back the cooked sausage and turkey bacon in the pot. Let it cook for 5 more minutes.
Include kale or spinach.
Add the chopped kale or spinach and mix. Cook for 2-3 minutes until it shrinks.
Prepare and enjoy:
Sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes (if desired) and add salt and pepper to taste. Put the soup in bowls and add fresh parsley on top. Serve it hot with crunchy bread or breadsticks.
