Potato, Sausage, and Kale Soup

•  1/2 lb pork sausage (I liked the Sage one)
• onion, finely chopped
• 2 t chicken bouillon granules
• 1/2 t garlic powder
• 1/2 t pepper
• 2 medium red or yukon gold potatoes
• 2 c sliced fresh kale
• 4 cups liquid (original said 3 c milk and 1 c heavy cream but I just eyeballed it and subbed in some chicken broth with the milk and cream)
• 1 T cornstarch
• 1/4 c broth or water

1. Cook sausage and onion until sausage is no longer pink and onion is tender. Drain. Stir in remaining ingredients except last two and bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender (10-15 min). 

2. Mix cornstarch and liquid until smooth, stir into soup and cook 1-2 minutes, until thickened.
