Zuppa Toscana - Olive Garden

This tastes just like the real thing!

1 lb ground Italian sausage (I use 1/2 pound)
1 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 large diced white onion
4 Tsp. bacon pieces
2 tsp. garlic puree
10 cups water
5 cubes chicken bullion cubes
1 cup heavy cream
1 lb potatoes (about 3 large)
1/4 bunch of kale (I use 1/2 bunch)

Saute sausage with pepper flakes. Drain & refrigerate. Saute bacon, onion and garlic over low-medium heat, about 15 minutes. Add bullion and water and bring to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Add the cream and cook until just heated, stir in sausage and kale. Let heat through and serve!
