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)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir to combine.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with grated parmesan cheese if desired.
