Lemony Kale and Sausage Soup is the perfect gluten-free, dairy-free soup for a cold Fall or Winter night dinner.Do you know how I can tell  I am a new mom?  Well, besides being overly tired and already having contracted a cold from my son’s daycare, my lunches have been looking nothing like they did before I was pregnant.  I used to have “fancy” leftovers from one of the latest recipes I had created and made ON A WEEK NIGHT.  That never happens now.

For the past three months, my lunches have looked more like leftover gluten-free pasta, gluten-free chicken nuggets, and now soup OUT OF A CAN!  Granted, it is Amy’s Kitchen brand and organic, but still.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of organic, pasture-raised ground pork
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 fennel bulb, chopped (could also use one large leek instead)
  • 1 medium head of green cabbage, chopped
  • 8 cups of organic chicken broth or bone broth
  • 1 TB of dried thyme
  • 1 TB of dried garlic powder
  • 2 tsp of dried onion powder
  • 2 tsp of dried basil
  • 2 tsp of fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp of dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp of dried parsley
  • 8 ounces of gluten-free shell or elbow pasta (I used the Banza brand for grain-free)
  • 1 cup of frozen or 2 cups of fresh kale, chopped
  • the juice from one small lemon

Instructions

  1. In a large soup pot or dutch oven over medium heat, brown ground pork and onion. I cooked mine for approximately 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in fennel or leek and green cabbage. Cook for an additional five minutes.
  3. Add chicken broth and seasonings. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for approximately 45 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  4. Raise heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Stir in pasta and kale. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through.
  5. Add lemon juice, to taste.
