Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
1/3 cup minced onion
•
2 cloves minced garlic
•
1 (32 fluid ounce) container vegetable broth
•
3 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
•
1 bunch kale, chopped
•
12 ounces vegan sausage, cut into 1/4 inch slices
•
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
•
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
•
salt and pepper to taste

1 pint half-and-half
Directions
1
Heat oil in a 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
2
Add broth and potatoes; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a knife, 10 to 12 minutes. Add kale, sausage, cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cover, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until 1/2 of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
3
Stir in half-and-half; cover and simmer until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
