I was a preschool teacher in my other life (and loved it)!  This recipe was given to me by a parent during teacher appreciation week.  It is easy enough that even I can make it and it has become a favorite in my home. I hope your family will enjoy this savory soup as much as my family does!
 

Toscana Soup

Ingredients:
3/4 cup diced onions
1 slice cooked bacon, diced
1 1/4 tsp. garlic cloves, minced
32 oz. chicken broth
2 medium potatoes, cut however you like them.  (I dice mine)
1 1/2 cups sausage, pre-cooked (I use Italian turkey sausage)
2 cups kale, chopped
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Cook sausage on stove top.  Meanwhile, place onion and bacon in 3-4 qt. saucepan.  Cook over medium heat until onions are clear.  Add garlic, cook 1 min.  Add broth, potatoes and drained sausage.  Bring to a boil and then lower heat and simmer until potatoes are cooked through, about 15-20 min.  Add kale and whipping cream.  Simmer another 10 min. or until kale is softened.
