A hearty and rich soup featuring Italian sausage, creamy white beans, and vibrant Tuscan kale, perfect for chilly nights.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Italian sausage
  • 1 small sweet onion, diced
  • 3 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 4 gold potatoes, cubed
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cans white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 bunch Tuscan kale, ribs removed and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • For serving: fresh parsley, chives or basil, parmesan cheese, black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up as it cooks. Once browned, remove to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving grease in the pot.
  2. Add onion, carrots, and celery; sauté for 4-6 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, poultry seasoning, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about a minute.
  3. Toss in flour, stirring to coat the vegetables. Add potatoes and chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 20 minutes until thickened and potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Stir in white beans, Tuscan kale, heavy cream, and cooked sausage. Let the kale wilt. Add red wine vinegar and adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Serve hot with parmesan, herbs, and crusty bread.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a bay leaf while simmering and remove before serving. Mash some white beans for a thicker soup if desired.
