Sausage, Sweet Potato And Kale Soup

• 1 Tablespoon Butter
• 1 pound Ground Sweet Italian Sausage
• 2 whole Sweet Potatos, Diced
• 1 whole Onion, Peeled And Thinly Sliced
• 1/4 cups Canned Pumpkin Puree
• 1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
• 1/2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 1/2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika
• 1 pinch Salt
• 12 ounces, fluid Pumpkin Ale (or Whatever Beer You Have On Hand)
• 1 quart Chicken Stock
• 4 cups Kale Greens, Packed

1. Heat butter in a large Dutch oven over high heat. Brown sausage in it completely while breaking it up with a spoon. Add sweet potatoes and onion to let them start to get soft and fragrant for a minute or two.
2. Spoon in the pumpkin puree and tomato paste. Let them cook for another 30 seconds. Season the mixture with the pumpkin pie spice, smoked paprika and salt while it cooks.
3. Pour in the beer and scrape up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour in the chicken stock and let it come to a gentle boil. Stir in the kale to let it wilt into the soup. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes or so.
4. Remove the pot from the heat when it's done and serve immediately! It's so fantastic with toast points or croutons.
