Italian Sausage Soup Recipe


Here’s a great soup, as good as any Italian restaurant soup, if not better.


Ingredients:

2 Slices Bacon

1/2 lb. Lean Italian Turkey Sausage, casings removed

1 large Onion, chopped

2 large Russet Potatoes, cut into 1/2” cubes

1 tsp. Italian Seasoning

2 Garlic Cloves, finely chopped

1/2 tsp. Salt

1/4 tsp. Pepper

1/4 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

4 Cups Water

2 (14 oz.) cans Reduced-Sodium Chicken Broth

4 Cups Fresh Kale or Swiss Chard Leaves, chopped

1 (15 oz.) can Cannellini beans, drained & rinsed

1 Cup Half and Half


Directions:

In a large pot, cook the bacon until its crisp, and let drain on a paper towel.  Crumble the bacon and set aside.  Discard the drippings from the pot.


Over medium-high heat, cook the sausage for 7 minutes, stirring frequently, drain well on paper towels and set aside.


In the pot, mix the onion, potatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, pepper, pepper flakes, water, and broth and boil.  Reduce the heat to low, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.


Add in the sausage, bacon, kale and beans and cook for 15 minutes.  Add the half and half, cook until heated and you’re ready to serve.


And Enjoy!
