Spicy Sausage & Kale Soup

1. 1

   In a large pot, saute onions in butter at Medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Then add garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes, and rosemary and continue to cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly. Add more butter if needed to keep everything from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

2. 2

   Add the sausage and break up the meat with a flat edged spoon until cooked through (~ 7-8 minutes) and onions are soft and transparent. Use the spoon to scrape the caramelized bits off the bottom of the pan. (This is what adds so much rich flavour!)

3. 3

   Add the stock, wine, and tomato paste and stir to combine. Turn up the heat to Medium High, then add the potatoes and carrots and top the pot with a lid. Simmer for ~10 minutes.

4. 4

   Once the potatoes and carrots have become soft enough to easily pierce with a fork, reduce the heat to Low and add cinnamon. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Toss in the kale and stir gently for 2-3 minutes. Once the kale is slightly wilted, your soup is ready to serve. The key is to serve the soup while the kale is still bright green!

6. 6

   Serve with a side of bread and top with shredded cheese. Enjoy!
