Tuscan Sausage and Potato Soup #5FIX

5-Ingredient Fix Contest Entry. This soup is healthy, beautiful, easy to prepare and very versatile. While the lacinato kale is fabulous, it can easily be swapped out for regular kale or other greens like arugula or spinach. A course mash of the potatoes gives the soup a silky, yet substantial texture.
