It’s not football season unless it’s cold, and as the playoff run coincides with the year’s coldest months, make this soul-warming soup this coming gameday. It’s surprisingly simple, hearty and more delicious than a zone blitz.
You don’t even need a football game to justify making this meal. Cook up a big pot for any of your winter activities. A steaming bowl of this soup is the perfect ending to a day of skiing or hunting.
Ingredients:
1 lb. sausage
1 head flowering kale
1 sweet onion, diced
2 potatoes, diced
64 oz. chicken broth
Begin by dicing potatoes and place in a pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, dice onion and sauté in soup pot for about 5 minutes. Add sausage and separate into bite-sized pieces while it browns, about 5 minutes.
After 20 minutes, drain potatoes and return to drained pot to remove excess moisture. Then add to soup pot with sausage and onions. Cook for a few minutes and add seasoning: salt and pepper, of course, but be adventurous. A dash of cumin is a nice touch, as is basil or a little hickory smoke seasoning. Whatever you prefer.
Then add chicken broth and kale and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until potatoes are tender and sausage is cooked completely through.
Serve with a nice baguette or dinner rolls or bread sticks. Go ahead, it’s OK to dip.
