Spicy Portuguese Sausage & Kale Soup

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 10 ounces Purity Hot Potuguese Sausage, sliced into rounds
• 1 large yellow onion, medium dice
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
• 1 bunch kale, stems removed, leaves chopped
• Optional: Italian parsley
• Optional: Lemon
• Optional: Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. In a large pot over medium heat, add the oil and sliced sausage and cook until it starts to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the diced onion to the pot with the sausage and cook until translucent and slightly golden, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the chicken broth, fire-roasted tomatoes, and chopped kale to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let it cook until the kale is wilted and tender, about 10-15 minutes.
4. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt & pepper, if necessary. Serve hot, over rice, or with crusty bread, if desired.
