Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 1 small bulb fennel chopped finely
  • 16 ounces chicken sausage* cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 (10 fluid ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 1 (28 fluid ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
  • 1 (19 fluid ounce) can white beans drained
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 5 dashes Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup uncooked pasta
  • 1 small bunch kale stems discarded, leaves torn
  • Small handful fresh basil torn
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Toppings (optional):

  • Croutons
  • Parmesan cheese shaved

Instructions

  • Sauté the onions and fennel for 5 minutes on medium-high heat in a large pot.
  • Add the sausage and brown for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, white beans, garlic, Italian seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil on high heat, and then reduce to medium-low. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the pasta, kale (tear it into bite-size pieces), basil, and water. Cook for another 15-20 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Serve with garlic croutons and shaved parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • *I used 3 sun-dried tomato and basil flavored chicken sausages, weighing around 16 oz. Anything similar would work fine.
  • If you're reheating the soup the next day you, may want to add in a bit more water as the pasta tends to soak it up.
