How to make creamy sausage potato soup
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add the onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Tip: Don’t let the garlic brown — it should stay sweet and aromatic.
- Add the sausage meat and break it up with a spoon.
- Cook for about 5–6 minutes, until browned and slightly crisp in spots.
- Stir in oregano, salt, pepper, and chili flakes if using.
- Add the sliced potatoes and pour in the chicken stock.
- Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes.
- Cook until the potatoes are tender and the broth looks slightly thickened.
- Tip: Thin potato slices cook quickly and help the soup feel naturally creamy.
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream.
- Warm the soup gently without letting it boil.
- Add the chopped kale and cook for 2–3 minutes, until wilted and bright green.
- Tip: Kale should stay vibrant, not overcooked and dull.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve hot right away.
