It is my favorite way to use kale although those wild rice egg rolls posted earlier look mighty fine. Back to this soup-- Yep, my husband also finds the sausage his favorite part. <br />I've sometimes done it without any dairy at all and not precooked the potatoes ahead; this makes for a clearer broth, but cooking the potatoes in the broth makes it a teeny bit thicker. To keep the fat content down you can also use some of that fat-free (huh?) half and half. And we don't really want to know what is in this half and half to make it "fat-free!"~Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08668824666035671560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581834347303998494.post-45995901517447054412012-02-15T19:12:42.358-08:002012-02-15T19:12:42.358-08:00I’ve had a lingering cold for what feels like week...I’ve had a lingering cold for what feels like weeks now, and I can’t think of anything that sounds better for my sore throat than soup! Kale, potatoes and Italian sausage!? This soup sounds like heaven – can’t wait to try it! Olive Garden bread sticks (which can we all admit is really the best part of going to Olive Garden?) would really take this over the top!Emily Adamsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11808605587643849703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3581834347303998494.post-88340101669329735832012-02-15T15:38:05.117-08:002012-02-15T15:38:05.117-08:00I love OG!
