Killer Kielbasa Kale Soup

My Killer Kielbasa Kale Soup

1 - 2 large onions roughly chopped
1 or 2 entire bulbs of garlic peeled and roughly chopped
1 lb kielbasa or sausage
2 lbs potatoes cubed
1 head kale, stems and leaves chopped up separately
2 cups milk or cream
2 Tb oregano or basil
1 cup powdered potatoes
sea salt, pepper, cayenne

This soup is similar to a chowder and very beautiful.

Saute garlic, onion and kielbasa in oil in your stockpot. Now chop up only the kale stems (half inch or smaller) and saute them a bit alongside. Add your cubed potatoes. If your potatoes are precooked this soup will cook faster. Add enough water to cover. Cook until potatoes are done. Time to add your chopped kale leaves, italian herbs and your cream or milk. I use raw cream. Boil 5 to 10 minutes and add enough powdered potatoes to thicken soup up to your liking. Salt, pepper, cayenne to taste.
Serve with crusty bread.

If the only dish for a meal, it feeds 8 people.
