Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the onions, sausage, and garlic over medium heat. Do not allow garlic to brown, so add it last. Add the broth and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the potatoes, kale, and beans; bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for an additional 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
