Ingredients
- 1 lb sausage
- 1 medium onion
- 1 large carrot
- 16 oz canned white beans
- 1 bunch kale
- 1 tbsp better than bouillon chicken or beef base
- 1 tsp oil for frying
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- If desired, peel the skin/casing off the sausage. Next, cut it into 1/2-inch rings. Optionally, you can brown the sausage a little in a skillet with oil or simply pop it in the soup as-is.
- Dice the onion ad chop the carrots.
- Preheat a large soup pot with a bit of oil. Caramelize the onions until golden brown. Next, add in the grated carrots.
- Rinse the beans under cool water to remove the canning fluid. Add them into the pot. Next, pour in 3 quarts of hot water and stir in the broth base. Allow it to simmer for 20 minutes.
- Chop the kale into small pieces. Add the sausage and kale to the soup. Let the soup simmer for 5 minutes and remove it from heat.
- Serve the soup immediately and enjoy!
