I know Spring is not soup season, but I love soup year round. After spending some time on Pinterest I was in the mood for a Kale Sausage Soup, preferably with beans. I found a few recipes, but most of them lacked the spice so I came up with my own version of Kale Sausage Soup. It’s similar to many that I found, however I added the carrots and the extra seasoning for a little spicy Kale Sausage Soup.
At least once a week, we have soup for dinner. I’m a huge fan of broth soups. While I still love cream soups, the broth soups are much healthier. Plus, if they have any kick to them I will love it! Anything with a little spice is right up my alley.
The Kale Sausage Soup was a hit at this house. It combines some of our favorite foods of sausage, beans, and spices. It’s the perfect combination while also being light. Please check it out.

Directions:

- Stir in kale. Reduce heat and simmer until kale is tender.
- Stir in beans and cook for 8-10 minutes or until soup is cooked through.
I doubled this recipe so we could have left overs. My kids enjoyed this soup with some of their favorite toppings such as shredded cheese, and tortilla chips. There is a ton of options with this one. Enjoy!
