Instructions
Cook and crumble the sausage in a large soup pot over medium heat until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1 tablespoon drippings and set the sausage aside. (1 additional tbsp. butter can be used if you don’t have drippings.)
Add the drippings and butter to the soup pot and add the onions. Cook over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, hot sauce, soy sauce, and seasonings and cook for 1 more minute.
Add the flour and stir continuously for 2 minutes, until the raw flour smell is gone.
Add the chicken broth in small splashes, stirring continuously. Add the heavy cream in the same manner. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Clean the potatoes and pat them dry. Cut them in half lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch slices. Add the the potatoes to the soup along with the cooked sausage.
Simmer for 10 more minutes, or until the potatoes are nearly fork tender. Stir in the kale and simmer for 5 more minutes.
Transfer to serving bowls and garnish with red pepper flakes, grated Parmesan, and/or chopped bacon. Serve!
