Creamy Italian Sausage and Potato Soup Directions
- Remove sausage from casings and crumble it into a large stockpot. Cook over medium heat and add red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, onion, and garlic. Saute until the sausage is fully cooked, drain if necessary.
- Add the chicken broth and Italian seasoning, increasing heat to high, and bring to a boil. Add diced potatoes. Cover pot, and reduce to simmer. Cook potatoes until tender.
- While the potatoes are cooking, place milk, cream cheese, flour, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium-low heat, then add the milk mixture and cook over medium heat until thick (it should resemble a thick cream soup or pudding).
- When the potatoes are cooked, add the thickened milk mixture and chopped baby kale to the stockpot. Season with additional crushed red pepper flakes and kosher salt to taste.
