Potato Kale and Turkey sausage soup

1 pound Italian turkey sausage
1 T Olive oil
1 medium onion diced
1 clove garlic minced
6 cup chicken stock
2 cups water
4 large white potatoes cubed
3-4 cups chopped fresh kale
Salt and pepper to taste

Brown sausage in heavy bottomed pot and remove. Add olive oil to pot and sautee onions and garlic with a pinch of salt until soft. Add sausage back to pot with chicken stock and water. Add potatoes and simmer for 10 minutes. Add Kale and simmer for 10-15 minutes more depending on how wilted you want the kale.

Let sit for half an hour before serving if possible to allow the kale to absorb some of the broth and not be too bitter.
Makes 6-7 two cup servings.

Number of Servings: 6
