This is a copycat recipe that I found on the internet. I use it as a base for making this soup, but vary it a bit depending on what ingredients I have on hand. I have used regular milk, evaporated milk, and even cream of mushroom soup in place of the cream since that is not something that I always have in my frig. And...I've used frozen spinach on occasion instead of kale.

Sorry about the 12 after 1 1/2 c. spicy sausage. That should read 1/2 inch slices.
