Kale Soup with Sausage and Mushroom
Kale Soup with Sausage and Mushrooms
Although I have never cooked kale before, I bought a bunch because it was on a sale. To be honest, I had no idea what I was going to do with it. I knew it was similar to spinach, but cooks much crisper. I had been sick for a while over the holiday vacation and was craving some soup. My sinus infection improved and I was more into cooking. A little soup is always welcome in the winter so I made some kale soup. It’s really just a simple recipe I put together as I wasn’t up to making anything elaborate. The kale was delicious in the soup and I will definitely buy more of this vegetable fresh in the market.
2 cans chicken broth
1 bunch fresh kale, cut into bite sized pieces
4 links spicy sausage, cooked, casings removed and sliced
1 can sliced mushrooms, 6.5 oz
2 cloves garlic
Salt & Pepper
Place both cans of chicken broth in large pot along with two cans worth of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the kale, sausage, mushrooms and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer covered over low heat for about an hour.

I was looking through my recipes to see if I had posted a soup recipe similiar to yours…I haven’t! I think I made mine a month or so ago: it was a “hey let’s see what happens if we do this” type of soup recipe!
I did the same thing-I was craving a soup and of course, didn’t want to use potatoes. I used parsnips (they softened just like potatoes so they make the soup thick n ‘creamy), sausage, broth and spinach. MMMMmmmm….
Your soup looks fantastic! I LOVE kale roasted in the oven…I love the crunch and saltiness. I didn’t think to use kale in my soup-thanks for sharing!!
I’ve heard that kale makes a great chip substitute when roasted in the oven. I will have to give that a try one day. I think this is only the second time I’ve ever eaten kale. I’m not sure why. It was delicious.
i LOVE kale…roasted like chips and in soups! sweet potato kale soup is awesome…we just had it last night!
Delicious Mushroom
