For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the kale and cream. If you prefer a less spicy soup, use mild Italian sausage instead of spicy. You can substitute spinach for kale if desired. For a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. Consider adding a can of cannellini beans for added protein.
