Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tb Olive oil
1/2 lb Smoked sausage
-- sliced 1/2" thick
1 qt Chicken broth
1 md Onion, thinly sliced
3 md Potatoes, sliced
1 lg Bunch (abt. 1 lb.) kale
-- shredded or
-- sliced very thinly
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt (opt'l.)

Heat oil in a skillet; saute the sausage just until
the fat is rendered, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain on
paper towels and reserve.

Bring broth to a boil with the onions and potatoes;
simmer 10 to 15 minutes until potatoes are very
tender. Mash onions and potatoes in the broth with a
potato masher or slotted spoon. Add drained sausage
slices and the kale. Bring to a boil and then simmer
for 3 to 5 minutes, until kale is tender. Taste for
seasoning - depending on how spicy your sausage is,
add salt and pepper to taste. Serve piping hot.

Shepherd writes: "For a cold night, serve with a warm
crusty bread and good beer or red wine for a complete
meal."
