Ingredients

    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 T olive oil
    5 turkey sweet Italian sausages
    1 quart low sodium, fat free beef broth
    2 cans great northern beans, rinsed and drained
    2 bunches kale, torn into large pieces

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.

Makes 8 1 1/2 cup servings.
