Delicious Sausage Kale Soup

Print Recipe

A hearty and comforting Sausage Kale Soup that combines Italian sausage and nutritious kale, perfect for chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian Sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 4 cups Kale, chopped
  • 2 medium Potatoes, diced (Russet or Yukon Gold)
  • 1 Onion, diced (yellow or shallots)
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 Carrots, chopped
  • 4 cups Chicken or Vegetable Broth
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • Italian seasoning, to taste
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat about a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and carrots. Cook until the onions become translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Brown the Sausage: Push the vegetables to the side of the pot. Add the sausage and cook until brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the diced potatoes and mix well.
  4. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Add the chopped kale and stir until it wilts, about 5 minutes.
  6. Taste the soup and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning as needed.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Optionally, top with freshly grated Parmesan.

Notes

For a creamy version, add heavy cream. Substitute sausage for plant-based options for a vegetarian version.
