Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Halal Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth (ensure it's Halal)
  • 2 cups potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup kale, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by gathering your ingredients. Dice the potatoes, chop the onions, and mince the garlic.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the Halal Italian sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking it into pieces as it cooks.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 3-5 minutes, until the onions are translucent.
Cooking
  1. Transfer the sausage mixture to your slow cooker. Add the diced potatoes and kale, and pour in the chicken broth.
  2. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste and stir gently to combine.
  3. Set your slow cooker to the low setting and cook for 6-8 hours, or on high for about 4 hours.
  4. Once the cooking time is up, stir in the heavy cream and let it cook for an additional 30 minutes.
Serving
  1. Ladle the soup into bowls and add your favorite toppings before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute Halal sausage with diced chicken or turkey. Coconut cream can replace heavy cream for a dairy-free option. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
