This Sausage Kale Soup is my favorite fall go-to meal. The soup is a perfect dinner for cold nights, and it serves a lot so we’re always able to invite an extra guest to our table. It’s healthy, hearty, and flavorful.
Sausage Kale Soup
Ingredients
Sausage Kale Soup
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 lb Italian or mild pork sausage, pastured and MSG free
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 carrots, sliced in coins
- 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp dried red pepper flakes
- 10 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups sliced white potatoes (skin on!)
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Shredded parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sauté onion until translucent and golden brown. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add garlic, celery, carrots, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Sauté until the veggies are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add chicken broth and sliced potatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes. Once potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, stir in the chopped kale. Continue to simmer for 5 more minutes until kale has turned vibrant green and slightly tender.
Serve each bowl of soup with parmesan cheese sprinkled on top and a slice of warm sourdough. Enjoy!
