Sausage, Bean and Kale Soup

February 25, 2019

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This is another soup from my “winter of soup” experiment. I really enjoyed the flavours in this soup and will definitely be making it again. It can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days after making. Being able to make a big pot of soup at the start of the week and then just reheating a bowl for lunch over the next few days is one of my absolute favourite things about soup. The flavours always seem to intensify on the second and third day which is also a plus.

A sausage with Italian flavourings works best but you can use any sausage that you love. I used cannellini beans but you could use butter beans or haricot beans or even chickpeas.

I haven’t tried freezing this soup but I would guess that it should freeze quite well as it doesn’t matter if the vegetables get soft.
