Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 shallots, sliced
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lb ground mild Italian sausage
  • 16 oz beef bone broth
  • 32 oz vegetable stock
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 cups baby kale
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic, diced yellow onion, and sliced shallots. Cook gently for 7-8 minutes until the vegetables are softened and translucent, releasing their rich flavors.
  2. Add Sweet Potato and Seasoning: Stir in the peeled and diced sweet potato along with salt and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes so the sweet potatoes begin to soften and absorb the savory aromatics.
  3. Cook Sausage: While the sweet potatoes are cooking, place the ground mild Italian sausage in a separate skillet over medium heat. Break it into small pieces and cook thoroughly until browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Combine Ingredients and Simmer: Add the cooked sausage to the large pot with the vegetables. Pour in the beef bone broth and vegetable stock, then add the bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and the sweet potatoes to soften completely.
  5. Add Baby Kale and Finish: Stir in the baby kale during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Allow it to wilt gently into the soup. Remove and discard the bay leaves before serving.
  6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pair with crusty bread for a complete, satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute mild Italian sausage with turkey sausage for a leaner version.
  • For a spicier kick, use a spicy Italian sausage instead of mild.
  • This soup stores well and tastes even better the next day as flavors develop.
  • To make it gluten-free, ensure the sausage and broth used are certified gluten-free.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
