Zuppa Toscana

I got this recipe from my good friend and tried it over the weekend, and it was so good!

Zuppa Toscanna

1 lb. Ground Italian sausage
1 lg. white onion
2 tsp. garlic puree
7 cubes of chicken bouillon
1 1/2 lb. potatoes
1 1/2 tsp. ground red pepper
4 Tbs. Bacon pieces
8 cups water
2 c. heavy cream
1/4 bunch of kale

Directions:
Saute sausage and crushed red peppers. Drain and refrigerate while preparing the rest. In the same pan, saute the bacon, onion, and garlic together until onions are soft. Add the bouillon and water to the pot and heat until it starts to boil. Add your sliced potatoes and cook until soft. Add the cream until just heated through. Stir in the ingredients from the fridge and add the kale at the very last.
The soup was very thin, so I thickened it up with some corn starch, and it was perfect!
Very good recipe!!
