Sausage Kale Soup Recipe
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 1 lb pork sausage (sweet Italian pork sausage, casing removed or use regular mild Italian sausage)
- 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped or minced)
- 3 celery sticks (sliced)
- 2 carrots (cubed)
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 10 cups chicken broth (I used homemade or use low-sodium store-bought )
- 3 medium potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 cups kale (chopped)
- First saute onion in a large pot with some oil over medium heat, until golden color.
- Once it’s golden and fragrant, add in the sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic, celery, carrots, and Italian seasoning and saute until the veggies are tender, about 5 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
- After add chicken broth, potato and bay leaf. Bring it to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Now, stir in chopped kale and continue to simmer for 5 more minutes.
- Serve each bowl of soup with parmesan cheese on top, with a slice of fresh bread, or next to a warm panini sandwich. Enjoy!
