- In a large soup pot, fry the chopped bacon over high heat until browned. Remove from pan and let drain on a paper towel lined plate.
- To that same pot, add the raw turkey sausage and brown in the bacon fat over medium-high heat. Remove browned sausage and place on the bacon draining on the same paper towel lined plate.
- Next, add in the chopped onion and potatoes to the rest of the bacon drippings and saute on medium-high heat for 5 minutes.

- Lastly, turn off burner and add in kale, half & half, salt, and pepper. Stir your finished soup and let cool, covered or uncovered for 15 minutes to allow the kale to soften and the flavors to infuse.
- Taste and add more seasonings if desired. Top each bowl with a few shavings of fresh Parmesan!
