Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon chopped
  • 1 pound hot italian sausage casings removed
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 cups kale stem removed and roughly chopped
  • 1 turnip peeled and sliced or diced
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Fry the chopped bacon until crisp. Set it aside leaving the bacon fat in the pan.

  • Add the chicken broth and water to the pot. Then add the chopped kale and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
  • Add the turnip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until tender.
  • Add the heavy whipping cream and heat through. Adjust the salt and pepper and serve!
