Soup Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Brown the Sausage

    Add the Italian sausage to the pot, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Cooking the Soup

  1. 3

    Add the Broth and Tomatoes

    Pour in the chicken broth and add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the pot. Stir to combine.

  2. 4

    Season the Soup

    Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add Greens

    Add the chopped kale or spinach to the soup and stir. Let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender.
