2 pounds Italian sausage
2 pounds russet potatoes (about 4 large potatoes), peeled or unpeeled and diced
1 pound bacon, diced small

Let’s Make It!

In a large pot, add the diced bacon. Cook over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving some bacon grease in the pot.
In the same pot with the bacon grease, add the diced red onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
In a separate pan, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned.
Add the cooked sausage to the pot with the onions and then incorporate the bacon.
Pour the chicken stock into the pot with the sausage, bacon, and onions.
Add the remaining ingredients: kale, diced russet potatoes, and heavy cream.
Bring the mixture to a boil.
Stir in Dan-O’s Original and let it boil for 30 minutes.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with Dan-O’s Cheesoning or Dan-O’s Jalapeño Cheesoning for added flavor.
