Creamy Kale and Kielbasa Soup

The temperatures are beginning to drop, and you can start to see your breath the moment you walk outside.Winter is coming fast and what better way to enjoy it then with a soup.  This is a creamy winter soup that isn’t too heavy. It is great to eat on cold winter days, while sitting curled up in a blanket by a warm inviting fire. I have tried other Kale and Kielbasa soups but they were not cream based, I think that added element gives a rich flavor. The addition of potatoes also makes this a bit heartier.
