This soup is so good and very easy. I couldnt find kale so I used frozen chopped spinache. I also didn't use reduce sodium chicken broth, it had a great flavor. The whole family loved it!

This soup disappointed me but it may have been my fault. I used link sausage instead of bulk and the little balls were hard in the soup. Also I couldn't find kale in the grocery store and had to use flowering kale. The flavor of the soup was very bland and I had to add salt (I hardly ever add salt to my food). All in all the soup was much better the second day after the flavors had a chance to marry. It was an easy soup to make and I will probably try it again and see if I can kick it up a bit. Make for recipe swap #18.
