Sausage, Bean and Kale Crockpot Soup

20141014_195148

I love my crock pot, and I love this soup – I take it for lunch the next day!

Here’s what you need:

  • 1 package (just over 1 pound) of Italian sausage – I like the hot!
  • ½ medium onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 ½ cups chicken broth (garlic infused is good)
  • 1  15-oz can cannellini beans
  • 1  15-oz can fire roasted tomatoes with garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon each of fresh oregano, basil and parsley
  • 5 cups of chopped kale

 

Here’s how to do it:

Heat the olive oil in a heavy pan and cook the onions slightly.

Cut the sausage into bite sized pieces, add to the onions and lightly brown.

Add all the ingredients into the crock pot, give it a stir and cook on low for 8-10 hours.  Add the basil, parsley and oregano about 1/2 hour before serving.

  3. Crockpots are seriously the best invention ever. I wish they would catch on here in Scandinavia (they have no idea what they’re missing out on!) This recipe sounds delicious!
