The minute it gets cold in Minnesota, I’m making this. 🍲
White bean, kale + sausage soup. Easy, cozy and SO good.
I use The Kitchn’s recipe as my base, but of course I can’t leave a recipe alone. 😂 I add corn + top it with Trader Joe’s cornbread crisps for a little crunch. Trust me on this one.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb mild Italian sausage
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 cups chopped kale
• 2 cans cannellini beans, drained + rinsed
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• Salt + pepper
• Parmesan for serving
• Corn 🌽
• Trader Joe’s cornbread crisps for topping
HOW TO MAKE IT:
Brown the sausage with the onion, salt + pepper. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir in the kale, beans, chicken broth, cream, lemon juice + corn. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat and let everything cozy up together for about 15 minutes.
Taste, season as needed + finish with Parmesan and those cornbread crisps.
Save this one for the next cold Minnesota day. 🍲🤍
