Zubereitung von Better Than Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana

In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown 1 pound Italian sausage (removed from casings) and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes until cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula.
Transfer the cooked sausage to a large bowl and set aside. Leave about 1 tablespoon of rendered fat in the pot.
Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 4 slices bacon, chopped, and cook until the onions are translucent and slightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
Add 4 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more.
Pour in 2 cups of water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Stir in 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon concentrate (or 2 chicken bouillon cubes).
Add the remaining 8 cups of water, 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
Carefully taste and add salt to your preference (start with 1/2 teaspoon and adjust). The chicken base is salty, so add cautiously!
Return the cooked sausage to the soup.
Skim off excess fat from the surface using a large spoon.
Stir in 10 ounces fresh kale, roughly chopped. It will seem like a lot, but it will wilt down.
Reduce heat to low, stir in 1 cup heavy cream, and heat through (do not boil).
Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Garnish each bowl with shredded Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese before serving.
