Ingredients

8 ounces mild Italian sausage, casings removed
2 cups chopped yellow onion
1 ½ cups chopped celery, plus leaves for garnish
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 (14 ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
12 ounces baby red potatoes, halved
4 cups unsalted chicken broth
¾ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
3 cups stemmed and coarsely chopped kale
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Shaved Parmesan cheese for garnish

Directions

Cook sausage in a large heavy pot over medium heat, stirring often to crumble, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion, celery and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add tomato paste; cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, potatoes, broth, pepper and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover; reduce heat to medium and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
Stir kale into the soup. Continue simmering over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the kale is wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice.
Divide the soup evenly among 6 bowls; garnish with celery leaves and Parmesan, if desired. Serve immediately.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
