1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped onion |
6 garlic cloves, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided |
4 cups water |
3 large red potatoes (about |
1 1/4 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces |
3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper |
8 ounces low-fat smoked kielbasa (such as healthy choice), thinly sliced |
6 cups thinly sliced kale (about 1 pound) |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, and sauté 3 minutes. Add garlic, and sauté 1 minute. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt.
2. Add water and potato; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 8 to 10 minutes or until potato is tender. Add broth, crushed red pepper, and sausage; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and kale, and simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until kale is tender.
