Italian Sausage, Kale and White Bean Soup
In 30 minutes you have a delicious, nutritious and hearty soup for the whole family - Italian Sausage, Kale and White Bean Soup. Easy recipe, too.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 lb good quality Italian Sausage, sliced
- 4 Garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
- 1 medium Onion, peeled and chopped
- 2 Celery stalks, just over half the usual size, sliced
- 1 cup dry White Wine, may be subbed with extra Chicken broth
- 32 oz Low Sodium Chicken Broth plus 1 cup Water, if needed
- 14 oz can White Beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 bunch fresh Kale, washed, big stems removed then leaves cut or shredded up into pieces
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- Grated Parmesan your favorite cheese, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Heat the oil in an oven-proof casserole pot, like a Dutch oven. Fry the sausages in the oil until nicely browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Set aside.
- In the remaining oil, saute the garlic and onion for 3-4 minutes or until the onions begin to soften. Add the celery and cook for another couple of minutes.
- Pour in the white wine and deglaze the pan. Raise the heat a little and reduce the wine to about half. Return the sausages to the pan.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained beans and chopped fresh kale. Give a quick stir, cover and then simmer on low for 10-15 minutes or until the kale leaves are nicely tender. Season to taste with some salt and pepper. You may add some water if you wish to dilute the soup a little. Serve immediately. Sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese on top, if desired. My family loves to have this with rice but a good crusty bread would pair perfectly, too!
