Directions
In a large dutch oven, sautee 1 cup chopped onion in 1 T olive oil.

Once onion is clear, add italian sausage. Cook partially (outsides are browned), then remove and slice into 1/2 slices. Return to pan.

Add 1 qt low sodium beef broth and 2 cans great northern beans (rinsed and drained). Bring to a boil.

Reduce to a simmer until the beans are tender (about 5 minutes).

Add 2 heads of kale, torn into large pieces. Kale will srhink as it cooks. Cook until kale turns bright green. The kale should still have a slight crunch to it- overcooking will make it extremely bitter.

Top with shredded parmesan cheese.
