The perfect weeknight soup. Cozy, delicious, easy to make and just 275 calories per serving.

Ingredients

• 4 Gilbert’s Bourbon Apple Chicken Sausages, sliced into 1/4 inch pieces
• 1.5 lbs red potatoes, diced into bite-sized pieces
• 1 c diced onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2-3 heaping cups of kale, roughly chopped into small pieces
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 c low sodium chicken broth
• 1 c fat-free half and half
• pinch of crushed red pepper, to taste
• salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy pot. Add onion and season with a little salt and pepper. Saute until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes.
2. Add sausage and cook until the edges start to brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and saute for 1 minute, until fragrant.
3. Add in potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Stir in kale and cook an additional 5 minutes, until kale has wilted and potatoes are cooked through and fork-tender.
5. Turn off heat and stir in half and half. Add a pinch of crushed red pepper and adjust salt and pepper to taste (I like lots of pepper!) Enjoy!
