Ingredients:
1 pound of pork Italian sausage
8 ounces of mushrooms sliced
1 Tbsp of olive oil
Spices:
1 tsp soup base (pork, beef or vegetable)
1 Tbsp onion Powder
1 Tbsp garlic Powder
1 tsp of sea salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1 Tbsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
15.5 ounce can of white beans drained and rinsed
1.5 quarts of water
8-10 ounces of kale chopped or torn into 1-2 inch pieces
1 cup of sour cream
Directions:
In a large frying pan (I prefer cast iron for this phase), add the olive oil then brown and crumble the sausage.
Add the mushrooms and cook until tender.
Add all of the spices and stir in thoroughly. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes so that the flavors of the spices can develop.
Fold in the kale until well combined and cook until wilted.
Transfer the mixture to a soup pot.
And add the water, beans and sour cream.
Bring to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer for 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
Serve with crusty bread to sop up all that luscious broth. Enjoy!
