Ingredients I used:

1 pound mild Italian sausage (browned, drained and set aside)

1 Tbs. evoo

3 carrots, peeled and finely chopped

1 shallot finely chopped

1 tsp. mixed herb seasoning (I used a zesty blend)

2 cans reduced sodium chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream (whipping or table, I used table)

1 can navy beans (rinsed and drained)

1 bunch fresh kale, washed and roughly chopped

In a large pot- saute evoo, carrots, shallot, and 1 tsp. mixed herb seasoning on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes.

Add chicken broth and cream, bring to a boil.

Add the sausage, turn to med. low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes.

Then add the beans & kale and continue to simmer on low for another 30 minutes.

Serve with some crusty bread.

Enjoy!!
