Ingredient List

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 lb bulk Italian pork sausage
  • 2 cups diced onions
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bunch kale, ribs removed, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 can (28 oz) Muir Glen™ organic fire roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cans (19 oz each) Progresso™ cannellini beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ unsalted chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

  1. In 6-quart Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Crumble sausage into hot oil; cook until no longer pink. Transfer with slotted spoon to plate; set aside.
  2. Add onions and salt to Dutch oven; cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until translucent. Stir in kale; cook about 1 minute or until slightly wilted.
  3. Stir in garlic. Stir in tomatoes, beans, broth and sausage; heat to a simmer. Simmer uncovered 5 minutes to combine flavors. Divide among 8 bowls; top with cheese.

Tips

  • Removing kale ribs makes the greens more tender.
  • Opting for higher-quality Parmesan adds a tremendous amount of flavor over the pregrated cheese.
