Comforting Sausage Kale Soup

Print Recipe

A hearty and nourishing Sausage Kale Soup perfect for chilly evenings, featuring smoky Italian sausage, nutrient-rich kale, and comforting potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 4 cups kale, chopped
  • 2 cups Yukon gold potatoes, diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
  2. Brown the sausage: Slice the Italian sausage into bite-sized pieces. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sausage to the pot. Cook until browned and cooked through, around 5–7 minutes.
  3. Add the vegetables: Toss in the diced potatoes and chopped kale. Stir everything together and let it cook for an additional 3–4 minutes.
  4. Pour in the broth: Add enough broth to cover the vegetables—about 4 cups. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  5. Season to taste: As it cooks, taste for seasoning. Add a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper. For heat, add a dash of red pepper flakes.
  6. Finish and serve: Once the potatoes are fork-tender, remove from heat and let sit for a minute before serving.

Notes

Serve hot in rustic bowls, garnished with Parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil. Pairs well with crusty French bread.
