Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water, or more as needed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon dried sage, or more to taste
  • 1 pound ground hot Italian sausage
  • 4 red potatoes, or more to taste, chopped
  • 1 large bunch kale, stems removed and chopped
  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms, quartered
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Melt butter in a stockpot over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Gradually whisk chicken broth and water into roux, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and sage; cook until mixture has thickened and onions are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 2
Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease.

Step 3
Add sausage, potatoes, kale, and mushrooms to the stockpot. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes. Add half-and-half and season with salt and pepper.

Tips

Sometimes I end up throwing another 2 or 3 tablespoons of butter in the soup and sometimes 2 more tablespoons of flour to make it a little thicker. You can also throw in another tablespoon of sage; I think that it makes it taste good.
