Ingredients

1	pound Italian sausage
¾	cup chopped onion
1	slice pancetta bacon, diced
1 ¼	teaspoons garlic, minced
1	cube chicken bouillon
4	cups water
2	potatoes, cubed
2	cups kale, rinsed and julienned
⅓	cup heavy cream

Instructions

• 1. Begin by preheating the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  2. Place the Italian sausage links on a sheet pan and bake until perfectly cooked, which usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes. Once cooked, cut each link in half lengthwise, then slice them into 1/2-inch pieces. Set them aside for later.
  3. In a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat, sauté the chopped onions and diced pancetta bacon until the onions turn translucent, approximately 10 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  4. Add the chicken bouillon, water, and cubed potatoes to the saucepan. Allow the mixture to gently simmer for about 15 minutes. Introduce the julienned kale, heavy cream, and the reserved sausage slices. Let the stew simmer for an additional 5 minutes before serving.
