Smoked Sausage, Kale and Potato Soup Recipe

A soup this hearty calls for wedges of crusty country bread alongside. For the salad, arrange sliced pickled beets on romaine leaves and sprinkle generously with fresh dill. Apple strudel is just right to finish up.

2 Servings; Can Be Doubled.

INGREDIENTS

4 ounces smoked fully cooked sausage (such as kielbasa or hot links), sliced into

rounds

2 3/4 cups canned low-salt chicken broth

3/4 pound small red-skinned potatoes, thinly sliced

1 cup dry white wine
5 cups thinly sliced trimmed kale leaves (about 3/4 of medium bunch) or

3/4 of 10-ounce package frozen chopped kale, thawed, drained

1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds, lightly crushed

DIRECTIONS

Sauté sausage slices in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add chicken broth, sliced potatoes and white wine and bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover and simmer until potatoes are almost tender, about 10 minutes.

Add kale and caraway seeds to soup. Simmer soup uncovered until potatoes and kale are very tender, about 10 minutes longer. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls and serve immediately.
