AHHHH~MAZING Soup recipe

I totally heart soup, especially chilli's and nice hearty soup on a cold (ahem... cool) winters day. Bo and I recently went to Olive Garden and had their Zuppa Toscana Soup. Its soooo delish. I googled it and found the recipe for it. I of course had to try it. So here it is... try it, you'll love it too. It's enough for 6-8 servings and best when HOT

you will need

1 lb ground italian sausage
1.5 teaspoon crushed red peppers
1 large diced white onion
4 TBSP bacon pieces
2 teaspoon garlic puree
10 cups water
5 cubes of chicken boullion
1 cup heavy cream
1 lb sliced russet potatoes or about 3 large potatoes
1/4 of a bunch of Kale

1. Saute sausage and crushed red pepper in a large pot. Drain excess fat (drain very well) refridgerate while you prepare the other ingredients.
2. In the same pan, saute bacon, onion, and garlic over low-medium heat for appx. 15 min or until onions are soft and bacon is cooked.
3. Add chicken bouillon and water to the pot and heat until it starts to boil
4. Add the sliced potatoes, and cook until soft, about 30 min.
5. Add the heavy cream and just cook until thoroughly heated
