  4. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the chicken stock, white beans, and chopped sausage. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
  5. Cover with the lid and let the soup simmer for 45 minutes.
  6. Use an immersion blender to blend a little bit of the soup to make it thicker.
  7. Add the kale and stir until well combined and let it cook for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Ladle into bowls and serve topped with Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy.
