It’s that season, again… it seems like we have the crockpot or stove on all winter long, in our house- and for good reason! Soups are warm and comforting, they’re filling and a great way to pack in a ton of nutrients, like immune-boosting bone broth and garlic and greens, like the kale in this soup.

I love this soup because it’s a happy blend of a little sweet, and perhaps a little spicy (but it can be made much more mild by choosing a mild sausage and skipping the red pepper flakes) and it’s just so easy– like many soups are, but packs a ton of flavor. Add this one to your meal plan, next week!
