Print Recipe

Sausage Kale Soup is a hearty and comforting dish perfect for chilly evenings, combining the spice of sausage with the earthy flavor of kale in a delicious broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (spicy or mild)
  • 4 cups kale, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Start by cleaning and chopping your vegetables. Dice the onion, carrots, and celery, and mince the garlic. Rip the kale into bite-sized pieces, removing any tough stems.
  2. Brown the sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook until nicely browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Sauté the veggies: Add in the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, approximately 5 minutes.
  4. Add garlic: Toss in the minced garlic and stir for about a minute until aromatic.
  5. Incorporate broth: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  6. Add kale: Once simmering, throw in the kale and stir.
  7. Season: Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the kale is tender.
  8. Finish with cream: Stir in the heavy cream, if using.
  9. Serve and enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with Parmesan or croutons, if desired.
