- 2 carrots (peeled and cut into pieces)
- 1 bunch kale (stems removed)
- 1 can haricot beans (540ml / 19oz) (drained and rinsed)
- 1 can crushed tomatoes (796ml / 27oz)
- 2 cups chicken stock (475ml)
- 1 can tomato paste (156g / 5.5oz)
- 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
- 2 bay leaves
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil on a high heat in a large pot.
- Add in the sliced sausages and brown on all sides. Remove the sausage from the pan and set to one side.
- Turn the heat down slightly and add the onion, garlic and carrot to the pot with a little salt and pepper. Cook until softened.
- Add in the kale, and cook for few minutes until softened.

- Stir well to combine and bring to a boil.
- Let simmer for 5 minutes.

Notes
- Be sure to soften your veggies well before adding the liquid. This process helps to draw out the natural flavors to create one tasty soup.
- Drain and rinse the beans well. Canned beans can often have a metallic and salty taste, so give them a good rinse under running cold water before adding them to the pot.
- If making ahead of time, let the soup cool completely before storing it.
- Taste your soup before serving and add salt and pepper if required.
