Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound Italian sausage sweet or spicy, casings removed
  • 1 can 28 ounces whole tomatoes, with juice
  • 1 can 15 ounces white beans or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 large bunch kale chopped (about 6 cups packed)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese plus extra for serving
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the sausage to the pot. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until browned all over and no longer pink, about 6–8 minutes.
  3. Pour in the can of whole tomatoes with their juice. Use a spoon to roughly break up the tomatoes. Let them cook together for 5 minutes so the flavors combine.
  4. Stir in the beans and chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
  5. Add the chopped kale. Stir well and let it wilt down into the soup. Simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, letting everything reduce slightly and the flavors deepen.
  6. Squeeze in the lemon juice. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Ladle into bowls and top generously with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve hot with crusty bread if you like.
