Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 yellow onion (finely diced)
- 2 stalks celery (1 cup, diced)
- 2 large carrots (1 cup, diced)
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups chicken broth (1 quart)

- 15 ounces white beans (drained and rinsed, great northern or cannellini beans)

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sausage, minced garlic, finely diced onion, diced celery, and diced carrots. Cook until the vegetables are soft and the sausage is lightly browned, stirring often to break the sausage into small pieces.

- Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the kale is soft and dark green.
- Serve the soup warm, topped with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
Notes
Feel free to use any type of beans available if you can’t find great northern or cannellini beans.
