Potato Sausage Soup (similar to Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana)

Ingredients:
1 lb. ground Italian sausage
1 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 large diced white onion
4 Tbsp. bacon pieces
2 cloves garlic, chopped
10 cups water
5 cubes of chicken bouillon
1 cup heavy cream
1 lb. sliced Russet potatoes (about 3 large potatoes)
1/4 bunch of kale, chopped

Directions:
Saute the sausage and red pepper flakes in a large pot. Drain and set aside in another bowl. In the same pan, saute bacon, onion and garlic over medium-low heat until the onions are soft. Add chicken bouillon and water to the pot and heat until it starts to boil. Add sliced potatoes and cook until soft, about half an hour. Add heavy cream, kale and sausage; heat through and serve.
