Ingredients
- 2 carrot diced
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup basil pesto
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes dried
- 8 cups chicken broth Swanson® brand
- 30 ounces cannellini bean 2 cans, rinsed and drained; or Great Northern or Navy beans
- 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed, mild
- 1 bunch kale roughly chopped with stems removed
- 3 Tablespoons lemon fresh juice and 1 tablespoon zest
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the vegetables by chopping the carrots and onion, and mincing the garlic cloves.
- Add the chopped vegetables to a large slow cooker along with pesto, red pepper flakes, and Swanson® Chicken Broth. Cover tightly with lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
- Remove lid and add in sweet Italian sausage, breaking it up into small bite-size chunks. Stir in kale, rinsed and drained cannellini beans, and lemon juice and zest.
- Cover again and cook on high for another 30-45 minutes until sausage is cooked through and soup is hot.
- Serve with Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top. Leftover soup can be refrigerated for 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Optional: If you happen to have a Parmesan cheese rind, throw that in the slow cooker with everything else. It adds wonderful flavor, but it's not absolutely necessary for this soup.
