Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound turkey sausage
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 15-ounce can white beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the turkey sausage. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 6–8 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir to combine.
Add the cooked turkey sausage back to the pot along with the white beans, kale, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer uncovered for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with grated parmesan cheese if desired.
