Keto Italian Sausage and Kale Soup

Ingredients

• 1 lb Italian Sausage (removed from casing)
• 6 cups Kale (chopped)
• 6 cups Chicken Broth (low sodium)
• 1 medium Onion (diced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Place a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven on the stove over medium heat (325°F / 163°C). Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil and let it heat for about 30 seconds until it shimmers.
2. 2Add the 1 lb of Italian sausage (removed from casing) to the hot pot. Use a spoon to break the sausage into smaller pieces. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned on all sides.
3. 3Add the 1 medium onion (diced) and the 3 cloves garlic (minced) to the pot with the sausage. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion pieces look translucent and the garlic smells fragrant.
4. 4Stir in the 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, the 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds more, stirring constantly, until the seasonings are mixed into the sausage and onion.
5. 5Pour in the 6 cups of chicken broth. Increase the heat to medium-high (375°F / 190°C) and bring the liquid to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low (200°F / 93°C) to maintain a gentle simmer.
6. 6Let the soup simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
7. 7Add the 6 cups of kale (chopped) to the pot. Stir the kale into the hot broth. Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the kale leaves are wilted and tender. The soup is ready when the kale is soft enough to eat easily.
8. 8Serve the Keto Italian Sausage and Kale Soup hot.
