Zuppa Toscano

Most people probably have this recipe.  There are plenty of different variations.  I have never made it(or had it) until just this last week.  It is delicious. I got this recipe from Addelyn's kindergarten teacher.  It can be made in the crockpot or, if you are like me and forget to plan ahead, it can just be made on the stove top.  Either way, it is good.

Ingredients:
1 lb bulk Italian sausage, browned and drained
2 cans chicken broth
1 C water
1 garlic clove minced
3 large russet potatoes cubed
1/4 c onion finely diced
bacon bits to taste
1 C heavy cream
1 bunch fresh Kale- coarsely chopped
grated parmesan cheese for garnish

1. Place Italian sausage, chicken broth, water, garlic, potatoes and onion in slow cooker.
2. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-5 hours until potatoes are cooked and soft
3. Add bacon bits, cream and kale right before serving
4.Top with parmesan cheese and serve with fresh bread.
I had to add some salt and pepper too.
