Add in your diced potatoes along with chicken broth. Bring to a boil and wait 10 minutes until potatoes are fork tender. Add heavy cream, kale, seasonings, the crispy Italian sausage & Parmesan cheese. Simmer for about 10 minutes until creamy and thickened. Serve with the crispy bacon bits, more Parmesan & parsley.
