  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for garnish

2. Cook the Potatoes:
Return the sausage to the pot. Add diced Russet potatoes, chicken stock, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to medium heat. Simmer for about 10–12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

3. Mash for Creaminess:
Scoop out half of the cooked potatoes with a slotted spoon and place them in a bowl. Mash the potatoes until smooth, then stir them back into the pot to create a creamy texture.

4. Add Greens and Cream:
Mix in the chopped kale or spinach and pour in the heavy cream. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Let it cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the greens are tender and the soup is well combined.

5. Serve and Garnish:
Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan cheese, a dash of black pepper, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve hot and enjoy!
