This was a pretty good start, but you have to personalize it.

This soup was INCREDIBLE!!! I used plain sausage links and pan cooked them in onions and Italian Seasoning. YUM!

This is my hubby's favorite meal. We double it, and use about 1/3 lb. Spicy bulk sausage, plus about a pkg of plain pork sausage links sauteed in the pan, rather than baking it. I also can't find anything called "nutritional yeast" at my grocer, so I just use the miso, and it's excellent!

Used bulk sausage instead of links. Soup is on the stove, not quite finished - but I just had a taste, and WOW.

Fantastic soup, we loved it. Followed the recipe pretty closely, though I added carrots and celery, a bit of savory and a tiny pinch of thyme. Instead of heavy cream I used a can of evaporated milk. Altogether a great soup, can't wait to serve it again.

yuuuuuuuuuum! found this recipe when i got a bunch of kale in my co-op basket this week -- turns out my husband, 1 year old and i LOVE kale. i used 1 lbs sausage (1/2 sweet, 1/2 spicy) and fried it up with the onion and garlic, then drained the grease. added a couple extra potatoes, then pulled 1/2 potatoes out and pureed and added back in for thickness...then needed an extra cup of water. used whole milk instead of cream and worked fine. only did 1 1/2 TB boullion but it was still really salty (and declicious!) thanks for the recipe, we're saving it for the next bunch of kale!

Very good with some of the modifications suggested by previous reviewers. Used more potatoes and steamed the kale. Used all chicken broth and added some cornstarch to thicken. I only had turkey sausage patties from Jimmy Dean and they worked well after chopping them up. Also added some red pepper flakes. Will definitely make this again.

This soup was both easy and DELICIOUS! I used Johnsonville mild ground Italian sausage instead of the links and everyone thought it was great! My picky 11 year old gobbled it up (except for the kale which I made her try) and my even more picky 5 year old ate the broth (he was not having the sausage, potatoes or kale - which I made him try as well)! For those of you with super picky kids, you can understand that this was a giant leap/victory in the quest to get my kids to eat a variety of foods. So thank you, Ken Miller, for this awesome recipe!

very good start to the recipie, I made a few changes. I used 1 lb of hot Italian sausage, I browned it along with the onions and garlic, omitted the oil all together. Drain the sausage and onion and blot with a paper towel to remove excess grease. I also added 6 cups of water and 6 tsp of chicken base, and increased the cream to 1 cup. I sliced the potatoes with my mandolin slicer on the thin setting and they came out perfect, next time I will add more potatoes. I will also cut the Kale in to smaller pieces, while the big green leafy pieces make a beautiful presentation, it's a real pain to get on the spoon. Thanks for sharing!
