Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound your favorite sausage Italian or breakfast sausage works beautifully
  • 3 cups diced potatoes A blend of russet and Yukon gold adds texture
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add your sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
  2. Add the diced onion and garlic to the pot. Cook until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
  3. Toss in the diced potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Bring it to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Once the potatoes are soft, stir in the heavy cream (or half-and-half). Let it simmer for an additional five minutes.
  5. Toss in the fresh spinach or kale, stirring until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  6. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs, if using.

Notes

Feel free to switch up the sausage based on your preferences. This stew is even better the next day as the flavors deepen. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
