    Sausage and Greens Soup means comfort food at it's best. Creamy, savory broth and hearty greens, potatoes and sausage simmer together to perfection. 


    Sausage And Greens Soup

    Making Soup

    Making soup is one of my ideal procrastination activities. It’s typically a lot of methodical chopping, mindless stirring and sautéing and it uses up lots of ingredients from the fridge—making it look like I cleaned (bonus!).

    I can sit down to a dinner of delicious soup and some bread, and glare at my procrastinated to-do list with a smug look, saying, “I’ve accomplished something today and you can’t do anything about it.”

    The to-do list usually doesn’t respond. It just sits silently waiting.

    Sausage And Greens Soup-2

    This healthy, awesome soup doesn’t take a lot of chopping, or time. It takes less than 15 minutes to prepare everything and you walk away and let it simmer.
    Totally easy for a weeknight meal. With hearty greens like collard, kale and escarole now available pre-washed, chopped and bagged in the produce section, it’s even faster.

    So much for procrastinating.

    • 2 teaspoon olive oil
    • 1 medium onion chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic minced
    • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour

    • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

    • ½ cup whole milk

    • In a large pot over medium heat, cook kielbasa in 1 teaspoon olive oil until browned, about 5 min. Remove kielbasa and set aside.
    • Add onion, garlic and 1 teaspoon olive oil and cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 4 min. Stir in flour, thyme and potatoes.
