Ingredients
- 5 mild Italian Sausage Links, casings removed Johnsonville
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 small yellow onion chopped
- 6 cups chicken bone broth
- 2 cans Northern White Beans, rinsed and drained 14.5 oz. each
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. chipotle powder
- 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese 110g
- 2 cups chopped kale packed cups
- 1 cup shredded zucchini 100g
Instructions
- Heat a large dutch oven or large soup pot over medium high heat and spray with cooking spray. Add the sausages by removing from the casings. I like to squeeze it out of the ends directly into the pot. Break the sausage into bite size pieces and let it brown before stirring. Stir until cooked through, approximately 5 minutes.
- Once browned, remove the sausage from the pot and set aside using a slotted spoon. Add the garlic, onion and a splash of the bone broth and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent.
- Add the sausage back to the pot along with the remaining broth, beans, Italian seasoning, salt and chipotle powder. Bring the soup to a boil and then lower the heat to simmer. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Add the cottage cheese directly to the hot soup and stir or whisk to combine. Don't worry about the chunks, they'll eventually melt away. This helps the soup thicken some.
- Finally, stir in the kale and zucchini and simmer until heated through and the kale has wilted, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Serve topped with grated parmesan or red pepper flakes for some added heat and enjoy!
