Ingredients
- 4 links uncooked hot Italian turkey sausage (optional (1 pound))
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
- 4 medium carrots (peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces (about 2 cups))
- 2 celery stalks (chopped (about 1 cup))
- 3 g arlic cloves (minced (about 1 tablespoon))
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (plus additional to taste (optional))
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste* (optional)
- 1 Parmesan rind* (optional)
- 2 15 -ounce cans white beans (drained and rinsed (I used Great Northern beans))
- 8 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 bunch curly or lacinato kale (destemmed and chopped (5-6 cups))
- ½ lemon (juiced (about 1 tablespoon))

Steps
-
If using sausage, heat a Dutch oven or similar large pot over medium heat and squeeze the sausage from the casing into the pot. Cook, breaking the sausage up into small pieces, until it’s well browned, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving the drippings in the pot.
-
Add the olive oil to the pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring periodically, until the vegetables are softened, about 6 minutes
-
Add the miso and garlic. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes, until very fragrant.
-
Add the Parmesan rind (if using), and the beans and broth. Increase the heat and bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.
-
Stir in the kale and sausage. Cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and season to taste with more salt, black pepper, and/or red pepper flakes.
-
Serve hot, with grated Parmesan on top.
