Equipment

  • Large soup pot

Ingredients

For the Soup Base

  • 1 package Beef smoked sausage (14 oz) sliced
  • 1 large Onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.5–1 teaspoon Black pepper to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground white pepper
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced

For the Soup's Heart

  • 3 small Russet potatoes peeled and diced (~½” cubes)
  • 6 cups Chicken stock or broth or substitute with beef/vegetable stock
  • 2 cans Navy beans (15 oz) drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups Kale roughly chopped

For Finishing Touches

  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon Lemon juice

Instructions

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.

This soup makes great leftovers. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
