Ready in: 30 mins
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 1 (32 ounce) container chicken stock
- 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound bulk sweet Italian sausage
- 1 large onion, quartered and thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 to 6 cups sliced kale
- Salt and pepper
- 1 cup mini penne pasta
- Parmesan cheese
Preparation method
Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 20 mins
1. Bring chicken stock and mushrooms to boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 10 minutes to rehydrate mushrooms.
2. While mushrooms are rehydrating, pour olive oil in a soup pot and place over medium-high heat. Cook sausage, onion, and garlic in hot oil for 5 minutes, until sausage is no longer pink.
3. Stir kale, salt, pepper, and nutmeg into the sausage mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring. Fish out the mushrooms from broth, chop into bite-size pieces, and add to sausage-kale mixture, along with broth and 2 cups water.
4. When soup comes to a boil again, stir in pasta. Cook for 7 minutes, until pasta is tender. Serve with Parmesan on top of each bowl.
