Zuppa Toscana - Crock Pot

This is one of my favorite crock pot soups of all time.

1 lb country-style sausage

3 russet potatoes, cubed

1 onion, diced

3 Tbsp minced garlic

32 oz chicken broth

1 c heavy cream

2 Tbsp flour

3 or 4 stalks of kale, cut off the rind into bite-sized pieces

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Garnish: Grated Parmesan cheese

Brown sausage in frying pan. Add to crock pot with potatoes, onion, garlic, and chicken broth. Fill with water to cover meat and vegetables, if necessary. Cook on low for 5 - 6 hours or high for 3 - 4 hours. 30 minutes before serving mix flour into cream. Add cream mixture to crock pot. Also add kale and seasonings to taste. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
