In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the bacon pieces and sausage until sausage is cooked all the way through. Add the chopped onions and garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Take the sausage mixture and pour into the Crockpot. Now add the water, chicken broth, potatoes, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir all together and set on low for about 6 hours (or high for 4 hours).
Once it’s cooked for several hours, add the kale and heavy cream. Stir all together and set the crockpot to high and cook for another 30 minutes.
I love to serve this topped with shredded parmesan plus croutons or crackers. Super comfy, cozy, and delicious!
