I loved this soup. I followed exactly, except sub homemade chicken broth for soup base and water. I have so much Kale in the garden this will be a staple during cooler times.

Excellent! I did find that like several people mentioned that you should cook the bacon seperately. I also used more cale and potatoes than the recipe called for. I also didnt know to take the casing off of the sausage (will do that next time) It was kind of a lot of work but very much worth the end result!

I made a big pot of this soup the other night & it turned out great! I added fresh mushrooms & used baby red potatoes to add additional color to the green kale. Served it with crusty french bread.

tasty and hearty. I felt the meat to veggie ratio was way too heavy, though, so I tripled the portion of kale. I also used Italian sausage (removed the casing) instead of smoked sausage As others suggested, I cooked bacon separately from onions (I cooked onions in the bacon grease)

Amazing. Never had the soup in the popular resturant. I baked the bacon (that's the way I prefer to make bacon) and sauteed the onion with the sausage. (I used ground pork sausage rather than the links. I used chard, thought I had kale. Thought it tasted fine with the chard, but have only tried this once. Definetly going to make this one a lot!!!

I don't usually rate recipes on here, but I have now made this so many times -- to rave reviews and empty bowls -- that I felt it was only fair to rate it (and rate it well!). This dish is easy to make, delicious to eat, and is a staple in my house. I make it exactly as suggested. Love it!

Easy and delicious! We used fresh spinach in place of kale and chicken and herb sausages in place of smoked sausages. Yummy!

I fixed it according to directions. I found it to be sort of bland. It was easy to doctor though. I added salt to taste, Italian seasoning, diced tomatoes and cannellini beans. Then let it simmer in the crock pot most of the day.
