Ingredients:

½  pound kale, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 carrots, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
14  oz. canned white kidney beans (or ½ pound dried white  beans)
2  chicken sausages, sliced 1/3-inch-thick (optional)
6 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock or water
1 bay leaf
½ tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tsp. olive oil
Sea salt, black pepper
Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally,  for 4 minutes.

Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add carrots, stock or water,  bay leaf, salt, pepper, rosemary, bring to a boil and cook for 8 minutes.

Add sausages, if using, and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in kale, bring to simmer, and simmer until kale is tender, 12-15 minutes.

Add canned white beans and cook for  the final 2 minutes. Discard bay leaf. 

This  soup is best if made 1 day ahead. 

If you use dried beans, soak them in water to cover by 2 inches for at least 8 hours, cook them for about 50 minutes and add beans to the soup right after the garlic. 
Sincerely Yours,
                Nellie
