I think this is from Bon Appetit four or five years ago. Warm and comforting...and hearty. A meal in itself with some good bread. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
12 -16 ounces smoked sausage, thinly sliced (kielbasa recommended) |
2 medium onions, chopped |
1 medium fennel bulb, chopped |
4 -6 garlic cloves, minced |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme |
1/2-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed |
12 cups chicken broth |
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans (or great northern or whatever) |
1 bunch kale, destemmed and chopped |
1 (9 ounce) package cheese tortellini |
grated parmesan cheese or asiago cheese, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Heat oil, fry sausage until beginning to brown, add vegetables and sauté until tender and translucent—15-20 minutes.
2. Add broth and bring to a boil, add beans and kale and simmer 15 minutes or so. Add tortellini to soup and simmer until pasta is tender (about 5 more minutes).
3. May serve topped with some freshly grated cheese.
