Kale, Cannellini Bean & Sausage Soup

Kale, Cannellini Bean, and Sausage Soup

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 links mild Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 quarts chicken broth
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained, and rinsed 
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 bunch Lacinto kale, ribs removed, leaves thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar 

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, break the sausage into pieces and cook over medium heat until browned. Add the onion and garlic and cook for another 5 minutes, until slightly softened. 
  2. Add the chicken broth and beans to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and bring the liquid to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes or until the beans are heated through. 
  3. Stir in the kale and vinegar and cook for another 2 minutes, until the kale is wilted but still bright green. 
  4. Chill, cover, and store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. 

Notes

Want a spicier soup? Use hot Italian sausages and consider adding a pinch of red chili flakes to really turn up the heat.
