Recipe: Sausage & Kale Soup

April 25, 2010 by Renee Claire

PopBetty-Sausage & Kale Soup

Tonight we had a modified version of this Cooking Light recipe. It took 25 minutes from start to finish, and everyone loved it.

Changes we made to the original recipe:

  • doubled the recipe
  • used spicy sausage instead of sweet
  • used dried herbs (cheaper and more convenient)
  • chopped the onion & garlic myself (it takes 5 extra minutes & tastes much better. At least chop your own garlic, that bottled minced stuff is vile)
  • used kale instead of spinach (the spinach can get slimy, while the kale provides a nice crunch)

Ingredients

1 (20 oz) pack spicy turkey Italian sausage
Dash olive oil
2 cups chopped onion
4 cloves minced garlic
1 cup water
2 (15 oz) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
2 (14.5 oz) cans stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 (32 oz) box fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
4 cups kale (stems removed)
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 teaspoons dried oregano

Preparation

Remove casings from sausage. Cook sausage in a large saucepan  over high heat until browned, stirring to crumble (optional: add dash of olive oil to pan to prevent sticking). Add onion and garlic to pan; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in water, beans, tomatoes, and broth. Bring to a boil, then cook for 3 minutes or until slightly thick. Stir in kale, basil, and oregano, and reserve on low heat until ready to serve.

    unrelated but — i just looked at old navy on account of the 30# off sale and everything was so wack — it reminded me of that blog post you made about ON considering a change of direction because the more fashionable stuff wasn’t selling. sad for me, last year they had very pretty cotton vintage-looking dresses.

    Hi, m! You’re so right about Old Navy, and I’m sad too. Even Walmart has better looking stuff now (seriously, they do, go look).
    It’s not just bad styles, though. Fabric quality’s another big problem with Old Navy garments lately. I bought two of their “perfect tees” several months ago, in dark blue, and they were see-through. Who needs see-through t-shirts, exactly?

    That soup looks like it would really warm me up right now. My mouth is watering.
