White Bean and Kale Soup
Oh my goodness, this soup is fantastic! So rustic, with loads of flavor and hearty too! I got the recipe from the following blog: http://madebygirl.blogspot.com/2012/02/food-white-bean-kale-soup.html 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!! Whoops! Deleted all of my soup photos before saving them...
