Steps:
- Heat a large Dutch oven between medium and medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil; once the oil is shimmering, add half the chicken sausage and cook until lightly browned on the first side, about 2 minutes. Use tongs to flip the sausage pieces and cook until lightly browned on the second side, about 2 minutes. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the browned sausage to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining olive oil and chicken sausage, but do not remove the second batch of sausage from the Dutch oven.
- Add back the first batch of sausage along with the chicken broth, Parmesan rind, cannellini beans, lemon juice, a large pinch of salt and a couple grinds of black pepper. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, then use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape up any browned bits at the bottom. Reduce to a strong simmer and cook for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to come together. Stir in the kale and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove and discard the Parmesan rind. Season the soup with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, then sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan. Serve with lemon wedges and crusty bread.
CANNELLINI AND KALE SOUP
Thyme, garlic, and a bay leaf are simmered in water to create a flavorful broth that's low in calories. Frying garlic creates crunchy chips and a tasty oil to drizzle on top. Pureed cannellini beans give this soup a velvety texture, canceling out the need for heavy cream.

Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium Dutch oven or a large pot over medium heat. Cook onions and carrot until just softened, about 5 minutes. Season with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir in minced garlic, thyme, and red-pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute.
- Drain and rinse cannellini beans. Add to Dutch oven with water and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, until beans are tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly. Discard bay leaf.
- Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until smooth, transferring it to a clean pot as you work. (For safety, remove cap from hole in lid, and cover with a dish towel to prevent spattering.)
- Bring soup to a simmer. Stir in kale and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Simmer until kale is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook sliced garlic, stirring often, until crisp and golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer garlic to a plate using a slotted spoon. Reserve garlic oil.
- Divide soup among 6 bowls. Garnish with garlic chips, and drizzle with garlic oil.
