Sausage and Kale Soup

This soup was really yummy and rich. It reminds me of the Zuppa Toscana you can get at the Olive Garden. (Which is def. what I was going for!)

What you'll need:
1. 1lb Sausage (We used Jimmy Dean's Premium sausage because it's what I had on hand. I think it would be better with Italian Sausage.)
2. 2 cups Chicken Broth
3. 1pt Heavy Cream
4. 1 /12 cups water
5.  Kale - as much as you want!
6. 2-3 Zucchini
7. 1/2 Onion (You can add more if you don't mind the extra carbs!) 
8. Spices: Salt, Pepper, Basil

How to do it:
1. Brown the sausage in a pan with the onion. Meanwhile get the chicken broth and water heating in a pot.
2. Julienne your zucchini or cut them into rounds.
3. Add the onion and sausage to your broth/water mixture.
4. Add in the Zucchini.
5. Season with the salt, pepper and basil to taste.
6. Let this cook for about 5 minutes.
7. Wash the kale well and remove the stems. Cut into strips.
8. About 5 minutes before the soup is finished add in the kale and heavy cream.

You can add in more or less heavy cream/broth to make the soup richer. I usually cut down on the amount of broth due to high sodium.

This is a fast, easy and yummy soup. Calorie and Carb content will depend on how much of each item you use.
