Sandi's Tuscan Soup (or something like it)

First let me apologize for this long over due posting.   Now, get excited for Sandi's Tuscan Soup!  I found this recipe online and adapted it so it is more like how I remember Sandi's soup from the good old days in the Pi Shack.

Ingredients:
6 cups chicken broth
1 small sweet onion
1 lb mild Italian sausage links
2 large Yukon gold potatoes
2/3 of a bunch of fresh kale
1/4 cup evaporated milk
salt & pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Chop the onion, & cube the potatoes.
2. Cut the kale down the stalk and cut it up into bite size pieces.  Note that kale does not shrink as much as spinach does.
3. Remove the skin from the sausages and crumble it into a frying pan.  Add the onions and cook on medium heat until browned & no longer pink.  Put the sausages & onions into a strainer and run it under cold water.
4. Add the sausages, onions, chicken broth and potatoes to a large pot. Boil until the potatoes are cooked.
5. Add the kale and continue to cook until the kale is lightly cooked.  Season to taste.
6. Remove from heat and add the evaporated milk.
7. Enjoy!
