8 cups (1890ml) chicken broth or stock
2 cups (475ml) heavy cream
2 cups (475ml) water
5 medium russet potatoes; scrubbed and sliced into ¼" rounds
1 bundle kale; ribs removed and finely chopped (about 5-6 cups)

Instructions

In a large stock pot or soup pot, brown the sausage, bacon, and onion over medium heat until the meat is cooked through and the onion is soft. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Drain off the grease.
