Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Olive oil | 1 tablespoon |
| Sweet Italian sausage, casings removed and crumbled | 1 pound |
| Onion, chopped | 1 |
| Garlic, minced | 4 cloves |
| Dried oregano | 1 teaspoon |
| Red pepper flakes (optional) | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Diced tomatoes, undrained | 1 (14.5-ounce) can |
| Chicken broth | 4 cups |
| Cannellini beans, rinsed and drained | 4 cups (15-ounce can) |
| Chopped kale | 1 cup |
| Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste | |
| Parmesan cheese, for serving (optional) |
Cooking Guide:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
- Transfer sausage to the crock pot. Add onion, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, or until softened. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add diced tomatoes, chicken broth, cannellini beans, and cooked sausage to the crock pot. Stir to combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, or until beans are tender and flavors are melded.
- Stir in kale and cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until kale is wilted.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, topped with Parmesan cheese (if using). Enjoy!
Tips:
- For a thicker soup, mash some of the beans against the side of the crock pot with a fork before adding the kale.
- You can substitute other types of sausage for the sweet Italian sausage, such as spicy Italian sausage, chicken sausage, or turkey sausage.
- If you don’t have kale, you can use spinach or another leafy green vegetable.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
