Tuscan Sausage and Potato Soup #5FIX

Submitted by vbeaux

"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."

• 1 (20 ounce) package Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes with Onion
• 1 lb bulk hot Italian sausage
• 8 cups chicken stock

directions

1. Crumble the Italian Sausage into a heavy bottomed soup pot and sauté until well browned. Remove the sausage from the pot. Add the Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes with Onions and sauté for 2 or three minutes. Add the Chicken Stock and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

Simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Enjoy!
