Steps:
- Place the navy beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
- Cook the soaked beans in a pressure cooker in 4 cups of water for 25 minutes. Use the natural release method to release pressure. Do not drain.
- Bring a separate pot of salted water to a boil. Add the kale and simmer until kale is bright green and tender, about 2 minutes. Drain in a strainer, and cool under cold running water. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in the soup pot. Brown the linguica slices on each side, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pot with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add shallots to pot and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Pour in a splash of chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits of sausage.
- Return the sausage to the pot along with the beans and their cooking liquid. Stir in the chicken broth. Bring soup to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Add the kale and cook about 4 minutes longer. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce to taste.

Steps:
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add sausage and brown, stirring occasionally to break into smaller pieces, approximately 10 minutes.
- Add onion, carrots, potato, and bay leaves. Season generously with kosher salt and cook until vegetables begin to soften, stirring occasionally, approximately 10 minutes. Add garlic and beans, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add kale, and cook until it becomes slightly wilted. Add chicken stock, season with salt and pepper, and cover with lid.
- Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat and keep at a simmer for about 45 minutes, although a bit longer is completely fine. The soup will thicken as the potatoes begin to release their starch into the soup.
- *the soup tastes best the second day. If time allows, cool soup completely, and refrigerate it for the following day. Reheat before serving.
- Optional: When about ready to serve, slice a baguette. Drizzle each slice with a little olive oil and season with kosher salt. Bake at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes, until toasted. Top with grated gruyere and asiago cheese and broil for about 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted. It can go from melted to burnt pretty fast, so don't leave broiler unattended.
Tips:
- Use a variety of beans. White beans are a classic choice for this soup, but you can also use other types of beans, such as cannellini beans, chickpeas, or black beans.
- Don't overcook the beans. Beans should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape.
- Use a good quality sausage. The sausage is one of the main ingredients in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality sausage that you enjoy the taste of.
- Add plenty of vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and texture to this soup. Feel free to add any vegetables that you like, such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, or kale.
- Season the soup to taste. The amount of salt and pepper you need will depend on your personal preferences.
- Serve the soup with crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

White bean, sausage, and kale soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a relatively easy soup to make, and it can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try.
