Add the oil to the pot over high heat and brown the sausage, paprika and hot pepper flakes while breaking it up
Add the onion, garlic, and Italian seasoning and saute 5 min
Add the flour and saute until the flour begins to stick to the bottom of the pot.
Add the stock and while the stock is heating, season with salt and pepper. It should be salty as the potatoes will soak some of the broth up. Feel free to add a few tbsp of fish sauce if you have it on hand.
Add the potatoes, bring to a simmer, and cook covered for 20 min.
Add the kale and cream and continue cooking for 5 min.
Serve with a crusty bread and feel free to sprinkle with parmesan if you have it on hand.
