Brown Brothers' Sausage Potato Soup

Like the Olive Garden Toscana Soup

Every year Brown Brothers' Plumbing Co. gives 10 lbs of fresh sausage to our office for Christmas. There is a mad dash to get it. One year I tried to copy the Olive Garden Sausage Potato Soup.

• 1 lb. Favorite Sausage (out of casing)
• 1 Large onion sliced
• 2 Medium potatoes cubed
• 1 Large clove of garlic, minced
• 2 cups of Kale sliced
• Chicken Broth
• 3 T. Butter
• Water
• Salt
• Pepper
• 1 cup of skim milk

Brown sausage, onion, potatoes, garlic. Add chicken broth, water, butter, salt, pepper. Simmer. Before serving add kale, and milk.

For a thicker soup add a can of potato soup or instant potato flakes.

Serve with crusty bread.
