This amazingly fast and delicious soup is a family recipe given to me by my friend from Montreal. If you like a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes when you add them to the stock. If you’re not fond of hot, spicy food, use a milder sausage and omit the Frank’s. Bon appetit!
Step: 1
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
Step: 2
Meanwhile, heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and stir in the sausage. Break up the sausage with a spatula, and cook and stir until the sausage is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink. Remove the sausage to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step: 3
Stir the onion into the sausage drippings; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the kale, and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock; stir in the sausage and potatoes, and return to a simmer. Stir in the hot sauce just before serving.

The name of “stew” can refer to both a dish and a cooking method. Stewing involves not fast cooking piece of meat, vegetables or beans in a flavorful liquid . It’s similar to braising, instead it does have a few piece of differences. The raw animal vested is chopped into smaller pieces instead of being cooked whole , and the water based material completely covers the contents in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway full . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.
Stew has a reputation for making a rib-sticking meal that warms you up on a cold , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of old menu of beef stew can make warming featured food , but stew’s comfort factor goes way beyond preserving you from the chill . It’s all about those soft and chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The more they come together make the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
