Sharing the pleasure and satisfaction of growing the best seed varieties chosen by gardeners for gardeners

On a cold night, serve this soup with warm crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients:
1 large bunch of Kale - about 1 lb.- shredded
1 tablespoon olive oil
˝ pound of your favorite smoked sausage,  sliced about ˝ inch thick
4 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons olive oil
1medium onion, thinly sliced
3 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
 

Heat the oil in a skillet and sauté' the sausage just until the fat is rendered - 3-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and reserve. Bring the stock to a boil with the onion and potatoes and simmer 10 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are very tender.  Mash the onions and potatoes in the stock with a potato masher or slotted spoon.  Add the drained sausage slices and the kale. Bring back to a boil and then simmer 4 to 6 minutes until the kale is tender. Taste for seasoning - depending on spicy your sausage is, add salt and pepper to taste.

 Serves 4 to 6.
