Potato, Sausage and Kale Soup


submitted by: Kathy Jackson
serves: 4-6

Ingredients:
3x14 oz cans beef broth (or water and beef stock or bouillon--I like "Better than Bouillon" brand for my broths)
4 cups or so of chopped, peeled red potatoes
1/4 cup chopped onions (red are best)
1/4 cup chopped celery
8 oz Kielbasa or smoked sausage (uncured if you can get it) sliced lengthwise then in 1/2 inch half rounds
2 1/2 cups cleaned, coarsely chopped fresh kale
salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:
Pour broth into 3-quart saucepan. Bring almost to a boil over med-high heat. Add potatoes, onions and celery; cook, uncovered, until potatoes are fork-tender. Add sausage. Reduce heat to low; simmer, covered, 20 min. Stir in kale; simmer 15 min more. Season with salt and pepper.
