This recipe for kale, sausage, and white bean soup is so easy to make. It's the perfect easy meal in fall or winter that's hearty and filling while still being so flavorful.
I love easy to make meals. That's no secret here on the blog. My mission is to bring you more of those to your life so you can make them too.
I hate complicated meals that take a lot of time. I like simple meals that STILL taste like they should have taken a lot of time. This kale soup with sausage and white beans fits the description perfectly. The sausage adds a bit of richness, while the beans add heartiness and the kale adds freshness and that veggie flavor.
This is on the menu forever. Making this weekly during fall and winter when kale is in season. And you can use curly kale or dinosaur kale. Either works. Either is delicious.
