Recipe Summary Kale And Sausage Soup
Delicious spicy kale soup with sausage!
Ingredients | Soup Recipes With Kale And Potatoes3 tablespoons butter3 tablespoons all-purpose flour4 cups chicken broth2 cups water, or more as needed1 large onion, chopped5 cloves garlic, minced5 sprigs fresh thyme3 bay leaves1 tablespoon dried sage, or more to taste1 pound ground hot Italian sausage4 red potatoes, or more to taste, chopped1 large bunch kale, stems removed and chopped1 pound fresh mushrooms, quartered1 cup half-and-halfsalt and ground black pepper to tasteDirectionsMelt butter in a stockpot over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 3 minutes. Gradually whisk chicken broth and water into the roux, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and sage; cook until the mixture has thickened onions are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease.Add sausage, potatoes, kale, and mushrooms to the stockpot. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 45 minutes. Add half-and-half and season with salt and pepper.Sometimes I end up throwing another 2 or 3 tablespoons of butter in the soup and sometimes 2 more tablespoons of flour to make it a little thicker. You can also throw in another tablespoon of sage, I think that it makes it taste good.Info | Soup Recipes With Kale And Potatoesprep:
