  • Heat oil in a 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add broth and potatoes; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a knife, 10 to 12 minutes. Add kale, sausage, cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cover, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until 1/2 of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in half-and-half; cover and simmer until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
