The Easy Slow Cooker Sausage And Potato kale Soup must

1 pound ground mild Italian sausage

1 (2-pound) bag frozen diced hash brown potatoes (such as Ore-Ida brand)

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

4 cups chicken broth

4 heaping cups chopped kale

1 cup heavy cream

Crusty bread, for serving, optional

In a skillet set over medium heat, cook the sausage until no pink remains, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the excess grease and discard it in the trash after it cools.
Add the cooked sausage, frozen potatoes, chicken broth, pepper, and salt to the slow cooker. Set the slow cooker to high and cook until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have combined, about 3 ½ hours.
Add the chopped kale and heavy cream to the slow cooker and stir gently to combine. Continue cooking until the kale is tender, about 30 minutes.
Taste and season with more salt as desired. Serve with your favorite toppings alongside a few slices of crusty bread.
