How To Make Sausage Kale White Bean Soup 

1. Cook Sausage. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven. Add the sausage to the pan (outer casing has been removed) and break the links up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook over medium-low heat for 7-10 minutes. You want the sausage to resemble ground meat. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
2. Add Aromatics. Add more oil to the pot if needed, then stir in the onions, celery and carrots to the same pot that you cooked the sausage in and sauté for approximately 5 minutes or until the onions turn golden in color. Add the garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
3. Add Seasoning. Stir in the seasoning.
4. Add Broth, Tomatoes and Potatoes. Return the sausage to the pot and pour in the  broth, crushed tomatoes, potatoes and Parmesan cheese wedge. Place lid on the pot and reduce heat to medium-low.
5. Simmer Soup. Cook for approximately 10 minutes then add the chopped kale and canned white beans. Simmer another 10 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
6. Enjoy. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
