1. Kale & Sausage Soup

The traditional German flavors of kale and sausage in a kale soup, aka Grünkohlsuppe, ... real down-home goodness with extra veggies to make it extra good.

The delicious earthiness of the kale really shines through. It's perfect for my "meat-and-potatoes" hubby. Filled with lots of goodness, it really satisfies.

Servings:

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1½ pounds potatoes, peeled, cut into ½-inch cubes
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
• 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 28-ounce can kale

3. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the veggies are tender.
