This makes a great soup for cold winter days. It’s easy to vary the taste of the soup by using different kinds of sausage: kielbasa, Italian sausage, country sausage, chorizo or what you have on hand. The kale and sausage make a tasty combination in this soup. I used Italian sausage for the soup today.
