Italian Sausage Kale Soup
- 1 package (19-1/2 ounces) Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 8 cups chopped fresh kale
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
- 1/2 cup white wine or chicken stock
- 3-1/4 cups chicken stock (26 ounces)
- 1 can (15 ounces) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil), chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- In a 6-qt. stockpot, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles, 6-8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
- Add kale to pot; cook and stir 2 minutes. Add garlic and, if desired, pepper flakes; cook 1 minute. Add wine; cook 2 minutes longer.
- Stir in sausage mixture and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until kale is tender, 15-20 minutes.
