This filling and warming soup comes together in about 30 minutes and is packed full of healthful ingredients like kale, and lean turkey sausage. I opted for a spicer Italian-style. This Italian-inspired chili is packed with spicy turkey sausage and leafy kale for a tomato-y chili. But, if spice is not kind to you, then try a plain chicken or turkey sausage. You might want to add a pinch of dried red chili flakes for good measure. The best part is that it’s all done in one pot and makes for great leftovers.

Ingredients

Large bunch kale, torn into pieces
3 c. Low-sodium chicken broth
1 can Cannellini beans, rinsed
1 can Diced tomatoes
2 tbsp. Tomato paste
1 tsp. Dried oregano
1 tsp. Cayenne pepper
1 tbsp. Chili powder
1 Red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 Large onion, diced
1 pound Ground spicy turkey sausage
1 tsp. Extra-virgin olive oil
