Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a stock pot and cook the ground sausage until no longer pink. Add the onions and garlic and cook for another 5 minutes until softened. Add the carrots, celery and potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Add all remaining ingredients except for the kale and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer on low for an hour or until the beans are tender.
  2. Add the chopped kale and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the kale is tender. Add more salt and pepper to taste.*This soup tastes even better the next day.
