POTATO KALE SOUP
Thought about calling this Kiss the Cook soup, b/c after tasting hubby hugged me and told me how lucky he was to have me. LOL!! Whenever I have a huge amount of kale leftover, I freeze it raw -- chopped--in one quart zip locks for a different day and works great for my next batch of soup. Estimate that 4 cups of kale equals 4 ounces and that one sausage link equals 4 ounces.

Steps:
- Wash and dry kale.
- Microwave bacon until crisp, set aside until end.
- In Dutch oven, sauté sausage and onion until sausage is brown, remove grease.
- Add garlic, potatoes, stock, fennel, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, bring to low boil, cover, and cook until potatoes are done, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove ribs of kale and chop.
- Lower burner to low, remove with slotted spoon about 2 cups potatoes, roughly mash with fork, and stir back into pan.
- Stir in chopped kale, simmer about 4 minutes-- we like kale a bit chewy.
- Add half and half.
- Stir in crumbled bacon, serve.
- NOTE: If freezing, hold off on half and half, add later. You can also put hot soup into bowl and add a tablespoon at a time of the half and half to each bowl. Haven't tried yet in crockpot but assume it would work fine.
