Sausage, Kale and Bean Soup - The Lemon Bowl

We all know that I love to cook. The only thing I love more than cooking itself is the opportunity to share my food with family and friends. One recipe that I get requests for year-round is my Sausage and Kale soup. The funny part? It is one of the most quick and easy recipes in my collection. Do you have a few picky eaters in your gang? This soup is the perfect way to incorporate kale into your family’s diet.

Kale is one of my favorite greens to cook with because it doesn’t simply melt into your dish. It has a unique, earthy flavor and is sturdy enough to handle high temperatures. The nutritional benefits of kale are countless. There are almost too many to list….but we all know I can’t resist naming a few. Kale is high in vitamin C, beta carotene and lutein. It is considered a powerful anti-oxidant and is widely believed to have cancer-fighting agents. Regardless, it tastes delicious and I’m confident your family will gobble up this hardy and satisfying soup. Your spoon is waiting.

    This has become a staple for me this winter (and what a winter it’s been on the East Coast!)…I make it on Sunday and separate it into Tupperware containers for lunch for the week at work. Letting it sit overnight before eating that first serving really allows the sausage to absorb the flavors of the broth.
