Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 10 ounces of Italian sausage
- 1/2 white onion – diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper – to taste
- 2 medium sweet potatoes – peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 4 cups chicken stock – I used low-sodium
- 1/2 bunch of kale – flat leaf or curly kale
Instructions
- Heat a Dutch oven or soup pot to medium heat and add 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Add the sausage to the pot. Toss and cook it until it is lightly golden brown then add in the onions, garlic powder, Chili Powder, and Italian seasoning. Toss and cook all of that together for 2-3 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Then add in the sweet potato, and chicken stock and season it all with a little salt and pepper. Let that all come to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the potatoes are nice and tender.
- Add in the chopped kale and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese. Note: I added 1/3 cup of half and half for a creamier soup.
