How to make it

---

1. Brown sausage and crumble. Drain and set aside.
2. Place onions, potatoes, chicken broth, water, garlic in pot and cook on medium heat until potatoes are done.
3. Add sausage and bacon
4. Salt and pepper to taste
5. Simmer for another 10 minutes
6. Turn to low heat
7. Add Kale and cream
8. Heat through and serve

Serve with a crusty garlic bread and you have the Olive Garden right in your own home!  I kinda switched up the recipe a little bit.  I used 3 potatoes instead of 2 (wish I had done 4), 4 garlic cloves instead of 2, and I used all chicken broth, no water.
