Kale & Sausage Soup
The snow has ended, but the cold remains. It’s only 25 degrees here today! (Looks like it was a mistake to pack away all of our winter stuff…) Despite many cups of hot tea, I can’t seem to stop shivering. Sounds like a perfect time to make a comforting pot of homemade soup.
Kale & Sausage Soup couldn’t be simpler. Even people that claim to hate kale will gladly eat it (in my experience). I really like the short ingredient list and the different colors arranged together in the bowl. Oh, and the delicious taste; we can’t forget that!
For those that truly hate kale, spinach can be substituted, but try it this way first; I think you’ll be glad.
To make this recipe, you will need:
- 8-ounce package of cooked sausage, sliced. (Obviously, I don’t use pork sausage. Turkey works well.)
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, chopped
- 6 cups chicken broth (I prefer low sodium.)
- 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 12-ounce bag of fresh kale, chopped
- Salt/pepper to taste
In a large stock pot, brown the sausage. Add onion/garlic and saute for a few minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add broth, bring to a boil, then stir in potatoes/kale. Simmer 15 minutes, with the pot covered.
While most soups freeze well, this is better fresh. (I don’t like how potato chunks taste reheated, but maybe I’m being too picky?)
A perfect lunch on a cold day, especially if paired with a fresh baked croissant, drizzled with honey. Yum!
