Soup Recipe
The monthly seniors' lunch of soup and sandwiches was a great opportunity to socialize and to show seniors how much we appreciate them. Until that is possible again, we are looking for soup recipes to share!
30 Minute Sausage, Kale, White Bean Soup
Submitted by Elisabeth Duckworth
| 1 | small red onion, diced |
| 2 | garlic cloves, minced |
| 5 | hot Italian sausages, removed from casing |
| 796 mL | can diced tomatoes |
| 540 mL | can white beans, drained |
| 1½ cups | chopped kale (or spinach) |
| 3 | bay leaves |
| 2¾ cups | low sodium chicken stock |
| 1 tsp | smoked paprika |
| 1 Tbsp | fresh ground black pepper |
| 1 tsp | salt (season to taste) |
| 2 Tbsp | grated parmesan cheese, for finishing |
| minced chives, for finishing |
- Place a lightly oiled large pot over medium heat and once the temperature has been reached, add the sausage meat. Cook until browned and then remove from pot and place on paper towel to drain.
- Into the same pot, add the onions, garlic, and bay leaves. Allow to sauté until the onions are soft, about 3-4 minutes.
- Next, pour in the diced tomatoes and white beans. Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture and scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pot. This is flavour left from the browning of the sausages.
- Add in the kale, bay leaves, chicken stock, paprika, pepper, salt, and cooked sausage. Stir and then cover and allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes.
- Season soup to taste and then serve in a bowl with a little bit of shaved parmesan, black pepper, and chives.
