Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by dicing the potatoes into roughly ½” cubes, chopping the kale, and finely chopping the parsley. Slice the beef smoked sausage into bite-sized rounds.
In a large soup pot, heat over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage directly into the pot and cook for about 5–7 minutes until browned.
Once the sausage is browned, stir in the diced onions, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and white pepper. Cook for about 3–4 minutes until the onions are softened.
Next, stir in the diced potatoes and pour in the chicken stock. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it simmer for about 12 minutes.
After 12 minutes, add the drained and rinsed navy beans to the pot and continue to simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes.
When the potatoes are tender, remove the pot from heat. Stir in the chopped kale, parsley, and lemon juice until the kale wilts.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately with a side of crusty bread.
