Creamy White Bean, Kale and Sausage Soup
This is the kind of soup that tastes like you spent hours making it, due to the utter deliciousness and the complex flavors! But the truth is that you can whip up the Creamy White Bean, Kale and Sausage Soup in a 1/2 hour on nights when you need a quick, nourishing meal.
Over the years, one pot meals such as the Creamy White Bean, Kale and Sausage Soup, have become even more essential to me in increasing a sense of ease and nourishment throughout the week. It is such a relief to have something that can be served on its own and also that lasts for easy, reheated meals in the days ahead!
All of that being said about the one pot meal, The Creamy White Bean, Kale and Sausage Soup does lend itself to pairing with a slice of bread slathered in butter! Bread and butter is a great way to have any wary eaters at the table feel excited about something familiar...and then maybe curious enough to dip the bread in and taste that scrumptiousness!
The Creamy White Bean, Kale and Sausage Soup truly is a delightful addition to your soup library. It is warming, nourishing and absolutely delicious. I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped finely
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 1 pound garlic sausage
- 1/2 bunch of kale, deveined and finely chopped
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch squares
- 1 can white beans
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste
Optional Topping
- Gruyere Cheese, grated
Kale and Sausage Soup Directions
Step 1
Pour a generous glug of oil into a large pot on medium heat. Add onions, salt and pepper and stir until softened and slightly caramelized. Then combine garlic and oregano and cook 1 minute or when you smell the garlic aroma.
Step 2
Remove sausage casings and cut into 1 inch chunks. Add sausage to the pot and cook and stir until the sausage starts to slightly brown in the pot. Once fully cooked through, add 1/4 cup of the broth and scrape the bottom of the pot to remove all brown bits that are stuck to the bottom. Those bits will add delicious flavor to the kale and sausage soup!
Step 3
Add kale, sweet potatoes and beans and the remainder of broth to the pot. Bring up to a boil and then lower to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 1/2 hour or until the sweet potatoes are tender and cooked all the way through.
Step 4
Add the heavy cream and stir to fully incorporate it and bring the kale and sausage soup back up to your desired serving temperature.
Step 5
Serve into bowls, top with Gruyere Cheese and enjoy!
I hope you enjoy this sausage and kale soup, one of our favorite Momo's Place meals!
Tips for Setting the Table
The easiest way to create a cozy, inviting table at mealtime is to add a candle, or two, or a whole line of them down your table. It transforms a space instantly, and draws people to the table to gather and eat!
Some of my favorites at the dinner table are our spiral tapers, pillar candles and our set of 3 small honeyglow vessels.
