Ingredients

  • 3 Italian sausage links (casings removed sweet or spicy)
  • 1 medium onion (diced)
  • 2 medium carrots (peeled and diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (grated)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 8 cups Low Sodium Organic Chicken Broth
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
  • 15 ounce cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 4 cups torn kale
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • shaved Parmesan cheese (to serve optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a large soup pot over medium-high and spray with cooking spray. Cook sausage until golden brown, stirring frequently, about 8-9 minutes. Remove sausage from pan and set aside.
  2. To the same pan with the sausage drippings, add the onions and carrots. Cook until translucent, about 6-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in garlic and oregano and heat for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and return cooked sausage to the pan. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring entire pot to a boil then add in the sweet potatoes and beans. Return to a boil then reduce to simmer. Heat until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Right before serving, stir in the kale and cook until bright green, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve in large soup bowls with shaved parmesan cheese if you wish.
