Ingredients

6 medium Russet potatoes
1 pound bulk sausage
4 cups broth, chicken or vegetable
2 cups heavy cream
3 shallots
5 ounce package of kale, spinach or arugula
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, or to taste

Instructions

Scrub clean and remove 'eyes' from six Russet potatoes. Set to boil in a medium pot.
In a large stock pot, add the bulk sausage and cook thoroughly. As it cooks, you will want to break it apart so that it is in small crumbles.
Slice shallots as potatoes and meat are cooking.
Once meat is done, remove from pot onto paper towel line plate. This will help soak up a lot of the grease. Reserve a bit of it in the pan as you will be sauteeing the shallots in the grease.
Add the sliced shallots to the large stock pot and saute until soft and translucent and slightly browned. Set these aside once they are done. You can add them to the same plate as the sausage.
Once the potatoes are done, slice them into rounds. If they are still hot, you may want to use a paper towel to hold them when slicing,
Add the 4 cups of broth and 2 cups of cream to the stock pot. Add the sausage, potatoes and spices. Stir to incorporate. Bring to a gentle boil. Add the greens and push down into the soup so the greens are completely covered. Bring to a boil again. Stir soup so everything is fully incorporated.
Once greens are fully incorporated, the soup is ready to eat. Pair with buttered, crusty bread. Yum!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Sub whole milk for heavy cream if desired.
Sub ground turkey or chicken for sausage if desired.
Can make sausage and potatoes ahead of time.
