Italian Sausage Potato and Kale Soup

This is a yummy soup that people say is like Olive Gardens. I didn’t like how many calories are in that soup so I tried to lighten it up without losing the flavor. I’ve used potatoes from our garden so they might look slightly larger than the ones suggested in the recipe.
