RUSTIC TUSCAN-STYLE SAUSAGE, WHITE BEAN, AND KALE SOUP image

Categories     Bean     Leafy Green     Sausage     Soup/Stew

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound Italian sweet sausage, casing removed
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large carrots, finely diced
1 large potato, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
2 cans (15 ounce) white cannelini beans, drained and rinsed
2 bunches kale, stems removed and roughly chopped
52 ounces good quality low-sodium chicken stock
1 Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper, 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.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! It's so easy to just throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it cook all day.

This soup is amazing! It's so hearty and flavorful, and the kale adds a nice touch of bitterness. I'll definitely be making this again.
