  2. 3 russet potatoes, sliced into wedges and then cut in half
  3. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 1 large white onion, chopped
  5. 3 cups chicken broth
  6. 2 cups kale or Swiss chard
  7. 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  8. 1 cup water
  9. kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

  5. Return the cooked sausage to the pot and now stir in the kale. Cook until the leaves are just wilted and the sausage has warmed through. About 3-5 minutes.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, and taste. Adjust any seasoning as necessary.
  7. Ladle the soup into serving bowls and serve immediately. Add the rendered pancetta crumbles over the top as garnish.
