Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ onion (peeled and diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 pound sausage (Italian, cut into chunks about ¾" to 1" in size)
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 bunch kale
- 2 cans white beans (drained and rinsed, like cannellini)
- 1 teaspoon salt (if using store bought broth add ½ teaspoon and taste test before adding more)
- pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook while occasionally stirring for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sausage pieces to the pot and cook until the pieces are cooked all the way through (no longer pink), about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile strip and discard the big stems from the kale and cut the leaves into shreds (I like to use culinary scissors for this job). Add the broth (we use homemade), shredded kale, beans, salt and pepper to the pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!

This recipe is wonderful though I might use only one can of beans next time. I also added slightly too much pepper but still good -- reminder to taste! Same day I made this, I roasted diced sweet potatoes. -- well, I mashed a few down and added to the soup. Yum!!!

Hi Meredith. We haven't tried it in the instant pot (mostly because Lisa isn't a fan of hers!). - Nicole
