1lb Italian sausage, spicy or sweet depending on preference
½ package of shredded kale
½ large onion, chopped
2 tbsp chopped garlic
1 package of gnocchi
4 slices of bacon, chopped into pieces
1 cup heavy whipping cream
5 cups chicken stock
Salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste
In a large soup pot, cook Italian sausage over medium high heat until browned. Take out the sausage and set aside on a plate.
Cook the chopped slices of bacon in the pot until crispy and set aside on a paper towel lined plate for the fat to drain.
In the bacon fat, sautee onions until almost translucent and add the garlic until fragrant. Make sure not to burn the garlic or it will become bitter.
Add the sausage back into the pot and mix with the garlic and onions.
Add in the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Taste and make sure the soup is seasoned enough with salt and pepper and red pepper flakes if using.
Once the water is boiling, put in the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, typically 3 minutes. Once the gnocci is cooked, turn off the heat.
Add in the heavy whipping cream and kale and stir until the kale is wilted and the cream is incorporated.
Serve in bowls and top with crispy bacon. Enjoy!
