This low carb kale soup with sausage recipe is a blend of sausage, kale and mushrooms cooked in a chicken broth base. It makes a quick heartwarming meal.
Although I have never cooked kale before, I bought a bunch because it was on a sale. To be honest, I had no idea what I was going to do with it. I knew it was similar to spinach, but cooks much crisper.
I had been sick for a while over the holiday vacation and was craving some soup. My sinus infection improved and I was more into cooking. A little soup is always welcome in the winter so I made some kale soup with sausage and mushrooms.
It’s really just a simple recipe I put together as I wasn’t up to making anything elaborate. The kale was delicious in the soup and I will definitely buy more of this vegetable fresh in the market.

It seems to be a popular ingredient for smoothies so I may give that a try. You do need to be careful of sausage. A lot of pre-made ones add sugar. But, we have a local butcher make ours from venison that my husband gets during hunting season.
If you don’t care for mushrooms, you can leave it out of this kale soup with sausage recipe. However, I find it adds a nice touch so you may want to replace it with something else.
This yummy sausage and kale soup really hit the spot. Although they say to sip on chicken soup when sick, the chicken broth in this soup is just as comforting.
Is there really something to using chicken soup for colds? Personally, I think there is which is why I really crave sipping on warm soups when I’m sick.

I was looking through my recipes to see if I had posted a soup recipe similiar to yours…I haven’t! I think I made mine a month or so ago: it was a “hey let’s see what happens if we do this” type of soup recipe!
I did the same thing-I was craving a soup and of course, didn’t want to use potatoes. I used parsnips (they softened just like potatoes so they make the soup thick n ‘creamy), sausage, broth and spinach. MMMMmmmm….
Your soup looks fantastic! I LOVE kale roasted in the oven…I love the crunch and saltiness. I didn’t think to use kale in my soup-thanks for sharing!!

I’ve heard that kale makes a great chip substitute when roasted in the oven. I will have to give that a try one day. I think this is only the second time I’ve ever eaten kale. I’m not sure why. It was delicious.
