Hearty & Comforting Sausage Kale Soup

A robust and flavorful Sausage Kale Soup perfect for chilly days, encapsulating cozy vibes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian Sausage
  • 2 cups Kale, chopped
  • 2 medium Potatoes, diced
  • 6 cups Broth (chicken or vegetable)
  • 1 Onion, diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 medium Carrots, diced
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper, to taste
  • Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, optional

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, toss in the diced onion and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  2. Brown the Sausage: Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add Garlic: Once the sausage is browned, stir in the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, if using. Cook for an additional minute just until fragrant.
  4. Combine Potatoes and Broth: Stir in the diced potatoes, then pour in the broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer for about 15 minutes.
  5. Toss in the Kale: Once your potatoes are ready, stir in the chopped kale. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  6. Season and Serve: Taste the soup, adding salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and enjoy!

Notes

Can freeze the soup for up to three months. Use mild sausage for a kid-friendly option.
