Ingredients

    Potato, raw, 1 large grated
    Hillshire Farm Turkey Smoked Sausage, 8 oz
    Olive Oil Cooking Spray, 2 serving about 1 second spray
    Onions, raw, 1 medium diced
    Garlic, 2 clove or more to taste
    Chicken Broth, 4 cup
    Kale, 4 cup, stemmed & chopped
    Salt, 1/2 tsp
    Pepper, black, 1/2 tsp
    Tobasco Sauce to taste

Tips

I like this a little spicier so add a little bit of white pepper as well. Grating a potato might sound like a lot of work but it actually grates quickly without all the clean up that a food processor requires :)


Directions

Spray a large saucepan with nonstick cooking spray, set over medium heat. Add diced onion, cook, stirring often until soft. Aout 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook a few seconds more.

Add the sausage, cook until browned, about 5 more minutes. Pour in the broth, bring to a simmer stirring often.

Using the small holes of a box grater, grate the potato into the soup. Still well while returning to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.

Stir in the Kale, cover and continue cooking stirring occasionally until the kale is tender, about 12 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper and hot sauce before serving.
