Zuppa Toscano

Is your family like mine and have to have a REAL soup not just one you would find in a liquid diet?This is the perfect meat and potatoes soup. My hubby was drooling while I cooked this because this is a soup with lots of meat (which varies depending on taste) I didn't have one complaint!! The next day my hubby took this to work and all the other guys were oogling his dinner and wanting his! They were all loving the fact that there was soooo much meat in it!!!

1/2 a  (14oz) can beef broth
3 (14oz) cans chicken broth
2 cups heavy whipping cream
a pinch of red pepper flakes ( I did 2 cause we like spice)
dash of garlic salt
1 small onion diced and cooked with sausage
2 lbs Italian sausage cooked and degrease*
1/2 pkg. bacon cooked and chopped up *
8 potatoes scrubbed and chopped into 1/4" chunks
4 cups kale
* this made for A LOT of meat but that's how my hubby likes it! You can cut down on the meat by omitting the bacon or 1 lb sausage.
Start by cooking your sausage, onion and bacon  until fully cooked. While this is cooking cut up your potatoes. throw everything into a 5 qt crock pot including potatoes. Once the meat & onions are all cooked DEGREASE them then throw it all into the crock pot and cook for 3-4 hours on high or until the potatoes are ready.
