Ingredients

Sausage, sliced, such as linguiça, Spanish chorizo, kielbasa, or Italian sausage 1 Lb
Onion, chopped 1 onion
Garlic, minced 1 clove
Potatoes, peeled & diced 2 large potatoes
Kale, stems removed & coarsely chopped 1 bunch
Chicken broth 4 cups
Balsamic vinegar 1 Tbsp
Tomatoes, diced 3 tomatoes
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned. If the sausage is very lean, add a small amount of oil as needed.
Add the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
Add the potato, kale, broth, and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30–40 minutes, or until the potato and kale are tender.
Stir in the tomato and simmer uncovered for another 10 minutes.
Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed. Serve warm.

Notes

Sausage options: Linguiça or Spanish chorizo gives the soup a smoky, savory flavor, but kielbasa, Italian sausage, chicken sausage, or another favorite sausage will also work.
Vegetarian option: Replace the sausage with 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed, and replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in the pot before cooking the onion. Add the beans along with the broth.
