3 garlic cloves, minced
4 cups chicken broth
4 medium potatoes, diced
3 cups kale, chopped
1 cup heavy cream

Cook the Bacon: In a large pot, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Cook the Sausage: Add the Italian sausage to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces. Remove and set aside.
Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pot, sauté the onion and garlic until softened (about 2-3 minutes).
Simmer the Broth: Add chicken broth, potatoes, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender (about 10-15 minutes).
