Soup: chicken sausage, cannellini beans, kale

[Peasie]

For Hielpee

4 chicken sausage (Amylu brand - pre-cooked, caprese flavored one, it has in mozzarella cheese)
1 box chicken stock + water
1 can cannellini beans, drained
1/4 pound kale (previously cooked in crockpot with smoked turkey)
pot likka from kale
1 bay leaf
pepper flakes
1 teaspoon Kirkland (Costco brand) Organic No-Salt Seasoning
handful of wholewheat pasta shells

Spray pot with Pam spray and put on medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken sausage - about 1/2"slices. I used a 5 quart pot but all the above came to less than 1/2 of the pot. Cover the pot and let chicken cook for about 5 minutes. Cheese from sausage will melt in pot and may even slightly burn - that's ok as it adds a little flavor.

Add chicken stock and water. Bring to boil.

Add drained beans. Add kale and its pot likka.

Add seasonings. Add pasta. Cook for another few minutes.

Serve with shaved Parmesan cheese.

I saw this soup recipe somewhere. I think it was either on Eating Well, Epicurious, or some Italian site. I remember the cannellini beans, kale, and sausage.

The flavor sounded good, but it looked kind of thin and brothy considering how heavy the ingredients are. Could have just been a bad pic.

MIL left me copy of this recipe she made.

6 (4 ounce) sweet Italian sausage (if not that sausage use regular one or smoked one)
2 tablespoons butter
1 yelllow onion, sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup white wine

Directions
Place the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, and brown on all sides. Remove from skillet, and slice.
Melt butter in the skillet. Stir in the yellow onion, red onion, and garlic, and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in red bell pepper and green bell pepper. Season with basil, and oregano. Stir in white wine. Continue to cook and stir until peppers and onions are tender.
3. Return sausage slices to skillet with the vegetables. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes, or until sausage is heated through.

I threw in some hot pepper sauce, some allspice powder when MIL was not looking, and likkle more wine when it simmering.

Your recipe sounds tasty Stormmey. I'm going to try it leaving the sausages whole. (I like to cut things on my plate.)

ILP, I have become a big fan of paprika over the past few months. What is buffalo chicken sausage? Buffalo and chicken processed together or chicken sausage flavored like buffalo wings?
