Directions:
1. In a large soup pot, brown up your sausage with the red pepper flakes.
2. While
the sausage is cooking, cut your potatoes in half lengthwise, then cut the halves lengthwise again and then cut them into thin slices.
3. Once the sausage is cooked remove it to a
plate, and add your onions, garlic and bacon into the soup pot. Saute them,
stirring frequently until the onions are transparent.

until it is heated through.
