Homemade Zuppa (lean)

1 Tbls unsalted butter
1/2 Tbls evoo
3 cloves garlic - minced
1/2 med. onion - diced
2/3 cup low fat jimmy dean crumbled turkey sausage
crushed red pepper to taste (about 1.5 Tbls for me)
2 medium baking potatoes with skin, large diced
10 cups homemade chicken stock
8 packed cups Kale, chopped
1 cup skim milk

Saute onion and garlic in butter and olive oil until it almost soft. If it gets too dry, add a little stock. Toss in the pre-cooked sausage crumbles and the diced potatoes and saute about 3-5 minutes. Add crushed red pepper and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 15-20 minutes until potatoes are starting to get soft but still firm. Add in kale and cook about 3 minutes. Stir in milk and let simmer another 5 minutes but do NOT boil after you put milk in the pot. Add more crushed red pepper, salt and ground black pepper to taste.
