White Bean, Sausage & Kale Soup


I put this together in just a few minutes this morning before heading out for the day. It cooked in the crock pot all morning, and the house smelled so good when we returned! It was the perfect soup for a cool, rainy day.


Serves 10

16 oz. hot and spicy bulk pork sausage
1 large carrot
2 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes - plain or with Italian seasonings
8 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 lbs. torn kale
2 14.5 cans great northern white beans

Stovetop directions:
In a medium pot cook sausage well. Add tomatoes, carrot, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Add kale and cook until tender. Stir in beans, and heat thoroughly before serving.

Crockpot directions:
Cook sausage well in a frying pan. Meanwhile, add all the other ingredients to a crockpot. Add sausage. Cover. Cook on high for 3-4 hours.
