Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 Italian chicken sausages (about 12 ounces total), sliced on the bias 1/4-inch thick
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
One large Parmesan rind (about 2 1/2 ounces) plus freshly grated Parmesan, for serving
Two 15.5-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed well
1 large lemon (about 6 ounces), half juiced (about 2 tablespoons) and half cut into wedges
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces chopped kale (about 8 cups)
1/3 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, lightly packed, roughly chopped
Crusty bread, for serving

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.

Tips:

Use high-quality sausage: The type of sausage you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the soup. Look for a sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality meat and spices. A good option is Italian sausage.
Don't overcrowd the pot: When you add the sausage and vegetables to the soup, make sure you don't overcrowd the pot. If you do, the vegetables will not cook evenly and the soup will be too thick. If necessary, cook the sausage and vegetables in batches.
Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and the vegetables to soften. The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be.
Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasoning accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
Serve the soup with crusty bread or a salad: This will help to round out the meal and make it more satisfying.

Conclusion:

Sausage, cannellini, and kale soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of protein, vegetables, and beans, this soup is a healthy and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
