Ingredients

6 strips Sugar-Free Bacon chopped
4 Hot Italian Sausage uncased
1 Onion diced
6 cloves Garlic minced
1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes drained and chopped
2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1 tsp Red Chili Pepper Flakes optional
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1/4 tsp Salt more or less to taste
8 cups Chicken Broth
6 cups Curly Kale stems removed and leaves chopped
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1/4 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

Heat a large stockpot over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy, stir occasionally. Once done, remove from stockpot and set aside.
Add sausage to the stockpot and cook. Use a wooden spoon to break up the sausage until crumbled into smaller pieces and browned. Remove from stockpot and set aside. Drain excess oil, leaving around 1-2 tablespoons of oil or enough to saute onions and garlic.
Saute the onions and garlic, stirring constantly until softened and fragrant. Add the sundried tomatoes, italian seasoning, red chili pepper flakes, fresh cracked pepper, and salt, continue to stir ensuring not to burn the ingredients - an additional 1-2 minutes.
Return the sausage to the pot, and stir in chicken broth. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let soup simmer for around 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, add kale to the stockpot and simmer for 5 minutes, then stir in the parmesan, heavy whipping cream and continue to simmer until the kale is wilted. Lastly, stir in crispy bacon and then serve immediately. Enjoy!
