White Bean and Kale Soup

As we shortly zip via the month of October, I discover myself reaching for my dutch oven most of the time. We make soup at the very least as soon as every week for dinner… yr spherical! However through the Fall and Winter months, it’s on our menu extra like 3 to 4 instances every week. From pasta Fagioli, to traditional hen noodle, to this hearty Italian sausage white bean and kale soup, we simply can’t get sufficient.

And for those who’re something like me, you’re nodding your head proper now since you really feel similar? Okay… good! Then let’s make some soup!

Okay, so that is most likely fairly apparent, however you’ll want a giant soup pot or massive dutch oven to make this soup recipe. You’ll additionally want:

• Olive Oil: No must get fancy right here! Any common olive oil will work.
• Onions: You’ll want to use yellow onions, not crimson or white, for the most effective taste.
• Crushed Crimson Pepper Flakes: I name for a really small quantity, however for those who prefer it scorching, be happy so as to add extra! Or, for those who can not deal with the warmth, omit utterly.
• Italian Sausage: Though I name for candy sausage, spicy Italian sauce could also be used if you would like a spicy soup. It doesn’t matter what selection you utilize, take away the sausage casings earlier than cooking.
• Carrots: For those who’re a carrot lover, you’re welcome so as to add an additional carrot or two for a chunkier soup.
• Potatoes: Waxy potatoes, like yukon golds, work finest right here.
• Garlic: Search for bigger cloves, or use 8 smaller cloves. The garlic provides a ton of taste, so don’t skimp right here.
• White Wine: You’ll want to use actual white wine and never white wine vinegar, which isn’t the identical factor! For those who don’t wish to use wine, merely omit and add an additional 1/2 cup of water or hen broth.
• Tomato Paste: This ingredient thickens the soup up into nearly a stew like texture. Use salted or unsalted!
• Crushed Tomatoes with Basil: I don’t counsel utilizing diced tomatoes or tomato puree as a substitute, as neither will yield the identical textured broth as you see right here.
• Salt and Pepper: You may season with salt and pepper to your hearts delight! Simply begin with a small quantity, style, then add extra. That manner you don’t find yourself with over seasoned soup.
• Rooster Bone Broth: Undoubtedly my choice right here for the most effective taste, however in a pinch, common hen broth will work simply wonderful!
• Water: Common h20! Free, and loosens up the soup broth with out including any taste.
• Kale: I counsel utilizing lacinato kale also called tuscan kale. Child kale will technically work, however cooks a lot sooner. So add the kale on the very finish and solely cook dinner for a couple of minutes.
• Cannellini Beans: Or any creamy white bean you get pleasure from in soup.
