About This Recipe:
For anyone who has visited America’s beloved Olive Garden, you know that they have an amazing Tuscan kale soup. That soup has some of my favorite ingredients such as kale, sausage, and potatoes, in a super rich and creamy broth. I chose to make this slightly healthier, dairy free option, but a splash of heavy cream or milk would of course be delicious too. And bread on the side is a must!
Enjoy!

-1 small onion, finely diced
-1 celery stalk, finely diced
-1 carrot, finely diced
-1/2 lb sausage, casing removed
