The greatest thing about this soup is that it comes together in about 20 minutes. You don't have to kill a whole day waiting for stock to boil or vegetables to become tender. Plus, it's full of vitamins but not much fat; a healthy choice for a cozy winter meal. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 large onion, chopped |
4 garlic cloves, chopped |
1 bay leaf, dried |
1 lb kale, coarsely chopped |
salt & freshly ground black pepper |
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed |
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes in puree |
1 lb turkey kielbasa or 1 lb reduced-fat kielbasa, diced |
43 ounces fat-free low-sodium chicken broth, 3 small cans |
crushed red pepper flakes |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a deep pot over medium heat. Add onions, cook for 5 minutes until softened.
2. Add garlic, bay leaf, and kale to the pot. Cover and wilt the greens for 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper to taste.
3. Add beans, tomato, kielbasa and broth to the pot and bring to a bubble. Reduce heat back to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes longer.
