Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Zuppa<\/p>\n

1 pound hot Italian chicken sausage links (I used Premio)<\/p>\n

2 medium red potatoes<\/p>\n

5-1\/2 cups low sodium chicken stock or broth<\/p>\n

\u00bd teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional<\/p>\n

2 cups chopped kale (tough stems discarded**)<\/p>\n

\u00bd cup unsweetened soy milk or nonfat evaporated milk<\/p>\n

Salt and pepper<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Brown the sausage in a nonstick skillet and transfer to a cutting board. When the links are cool enough to handle, slice them \u00bd-inch thick and add to the slow cooker. (I used my 4-Quart.)<\/li>\n
  2. Cut the potatoes into quarters lengthwise. And then cut the quarters into thin slices.<\/li>\n
  3. Add the potatoes to the slow cooker.<\/li>\n
  4. Stir in the chicken stock, and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.<\/li>\n
  5. Cover and cook on LOW 6-8 hours, or until potatoes are tender.<\/li>\n
  6. Fifteen to 20 minutes before serving, stir in the chopped kale and milk and cook until the kale wilts and soup is heated through.<\/li>\n
  7. Season to taste with salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
