Comfort Soup a la Montreal Recipe

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.

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.

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.
