Instructions

  • Prepare the ingredients: roughly chop the kale, onions and garlic.
  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until lightly browned. Stir in garlic, onions, and carrots; cook until softened.
  • Add broth and pasta; simmer about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in kale and beans. Reduce heat to low and simmer 10 minutes, until kale wilts and beans are heated through.

Notes

Tips
  • Save time and use pre-cut veggies from the supermarket.
  • If making ahead, cook the pasta separately. Add the freshly cooked pasta when you reheat the soup (this keeps the pasta from getting too soggy).
  • Boost the flavor with a squeeze of lemon (or a splash of red wine vinegar), a pinch of oregano, basil, or Italian seasoning, lots of black pepper, or up to a tablespoon of tomato paste for a richer broth.
What to do with leftovers:
Refrigerate leftover sausage kale for up to four days in an .
Freeze leftover soup for up to three months. Once the soup has cooled, divide it into individual portions and place them in freezer-safe containers or bags for easy future meals.T
