- 6 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
- 1 ½ lb yukon gold potatoes, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- 6 cups chicken broth

- 4 cups curly kale, stems removed, leaves roughly chopped

- ½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper, plus more to taste
For serving

Instructions
- 1
Heat the garlic-infused oil in a large 6-quart pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the ground pork sausage, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, and smoked paprika. Cook, breaking the meat into small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is browned and cooked through with no pink remaining, about 7–8 minutes. The internal temperature of the sausage should reach 160°F (71°C). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the scallion greens to the pot and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
