Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4 Italian sausages (spicy, medium or mild), casings removed and discarded
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 1 leek thinly sliced, substitute 1 yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1.5 teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried chili flakes optional
  • 1.5 quart chicken stock
  • 5 small red potatoes cubed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 head kale roughly chopped into ribbons
  • 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Using a paring knife, make a shallow incision along the length of the sausage. Peel back the casings and discard them.
  • Add the olive oil to the pot and heat until shimmering. Add the sausage and break it apart into 1" pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned all over, around 8 minutes. Reserve the fat in the pan, transfer the sausage to a bowl and set aside.
  • Add the celery, carrots and leeks and season with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft and translucent, 10-12 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 60 seconds. Add the paprika and chile flakes, if using, and cook, stirring, 60 seconds.
  • Add the stock, potatoes, browned sausage, bay leaves and thyme and stir to combine. Bring the soup to a simmer, cover with a lid, reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, 12 to 14 minutes.
  • Add the kale and cook 3-4 minutes or until wilted to desired texture. Taste the soup for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper as desired. If the soup is too salty or thick, add ½ cup of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency and taste.
  • Add the parsley and stir to combine. Ladle the soup into individual serving bowls and enjoy!
