... I am loving this new soup that I made for dinner last night! Yumm!

(& I love that I have left overs for lunch today!!)

Here is the recipe...

Sausage & Kale Soup

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, diced

1-2 garlic cloves, minced

¼ teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes (optional)

5 potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size chunks

3 cans chicken broth

1 bunch kale, stemmed and roughly shredded

12 ounces of ground sausage, whatever kind you'd like: Italian, Turkey, etc...

(I used reduced-fat pork sausage & it tasted great)

Directions

In a large pot, heat oil over medium. Add diced onion and cook until soft. Add minced garlic and red-pepper flakes; cook for about a minute. Add the chicken broth & then the potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the ground sausage. Season to taste.

Once the potatoes are done, take out about ¼ to half of the soup and puree it in a blender or food processor. Return the pureed soup to the pot; add the kale and the cooked ground sausage. Allow to simmer until the kale is wilted, about 10 minutes.

Enjoy!

Have a Happy Weekend!
