directions

  • Cut potatoes into quarters, then slice each piece into quarter inch pieces.
  • Combine first 5 ingredients into a large pot and simmer over medium heat until potatoes begin to break up (15-20 minutes).
  • While other ingredients simmer, cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until brown and crumbled. Remove from pan and place on a plate that has been covered in 3-4 papertowels (to further drain the fat).
  • In the same skillet, saute bacon until crisp.
  • When potatoes are done, add sausage and bacon to the pot. Simmer 10 more minutes.
  • Add kale and evaporated milk. Simmer for 5-10 more minutes and then enjoy!

  1. This is yummy and easy-to-make soup! I used regular precooked bacon, otherwise made as directed. This soup is really good for as low fat as it is. We served this with some garlic bread and really enjoyed - thanks for posting your recipe! Made for Fall PAC 2009
