Zuppa Toscana

My family and I love crock pot meals, especially on busy days. This
recipe was shared by my church friend and now we make it at least oncea month. This recipe worked wonders for my little sister, Ellie, who
does not like spinach.

Mild Italian Sausage
1 pkg. Kielbasa Italian Sausage
Bacon Bits
2 or 3 Onions1 or 2 cartons Heavy Whipping Cream
Chicken Broth
Potatoes or Cauliflower
Kale or Spinach
5 to 8 Garlic Cloves
Garlic Powder
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Dump the bacon bits,  heavy whipping cream and chicken broth in the
crock pot. Chop up all the onions and garlic cloves and saute themwith a little bit of olive oil. When they are finished, add it to
the crock pot. Cook the sausages then add to the crock pot. Add as
much of the pepper flakes as your family is comfortable with.
We like ours spicy, so we add a good bit. Towards the end, chop up your
potatoes and cook it in a separate pot. Once they are done, add it
to the crock pot. If you are using kale, add to the crock
pot right away and if you plan to use spinach add it towards the end.

I usually do not measure so you will have to eye everything.  It’s so
mmy and creamy especially in the winter during cold and bitter days. Enjoy!
