Ingredients

  • 1 lb sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 can pure pumpkin (15 oz)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Better than Bouillon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • ½ onion chopped
  • 1 teaspoon crushed garlic
  • 5 mushrooms chopped
  • 2 cups baby kale loosely packed

Instructions

  1. As your brown your sausage in a soup pan, break it up into bite sized pieces.
  2. Add oil, onions, mushrooms and peppers to the pan.
  3. Saute until onions are translucent. Add garlic, salt and pepper and sauté for 1 minute.

  4. Add broth, bouillon, pumpkin and kale and simmer for 5 minutes or until the kale is cooked. If you use baby kale leaves it will cook quickly. If you use rougher curly kale make sure to chop it into small pieces.
