• 14 oz reduced fat Italian chicken or turkey sausage
• 8 cups (1/2 batch) kale, stems removed, leaves shredded
  
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 medium carrot, sliced
  
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 8 cups fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 2 cups water
• 3 medium red potatoes, peeled diced into 1/4 inch pieces
• 1 pinch dried red pepper flakes
• salt to taste
  
• 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper

Directions:

In a large Dutch oven or pot, cook sausage over medium-low heat. Turn and cook until brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from pot, let cool and cut into thin slices.

Add oil to pot, add onions and carrots; cook on medium until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.

Add broth, water and black pepper, bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes. Add cooked sausage, potatoes, red pepper flakes and bring back to a simmer. Cook covered for about 4 minutes. Add kale and bring back to a simmer. Cook partially covered until the potatoes and kale are cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Adjust salt if needed.

Makes 10 cups.
