Sausage, Potato, and Kale Soup

This soup is amazing and my whole family LOVES it! It's the perfect soup for warming up on any evening. Leftovers hold really well and are wonderful for lunch--or even breakfast--the next day!


Ingredients:

1 pound ground pork/sausage

2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups Chicken Bone Broth
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 pound red potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch chunks
4 cups chopped fresh kale
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, Italian seasoning, salt, paprika, fennel seeds, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, mix well.

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the pork mixture, the onion, and the garlic. Cook, stirring frequently until the meat is browned.

Stir in the broth, tomatoes with their juices and potatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are just tender, 15-20 minutes. Add the kale and thyme and cook, uncovered until the kale is tender, 5 minutes or more. Season with additional salt and black pepper and more.

Give it a try! You'll love it! And it's a great way to eat Kale.
