I let my young son pick out seed packets and he chose kale, which grew like crazy. This hearty soup helped make good use of it and rivals the Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana. —Michelle Babbie, Malone, New York

Ingredients

1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 medium red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 cups sliced fresh kale
3 cups 2% milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
Crumbled cooked bacon, optional

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, cook sausage and onion over medium heat 4-6 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink and onion is tender, breaking up sausage into crumbles; drain.
2. Stir in bouillon and seasonings. Add potatoes, kale, milk and cream; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
3. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into soup. Return to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. If desired, top with bacon.
