Sausage Kale Rice Soup

I know I said I was not going to post. But if I don’t write this soup down I will forget and it turned out really great. I was looking for a different way to use the kale that we had received so here it is:

Sausage Kale Rice Soup

1/2 c. of dry Lunberg Farms CountryWild Rice, cooked ahead (2:1 water ratio)
1 large onion (about one c.) chopped
1 green pepper chopped
3 cloves of garlic, pressed
1 lb bulk pork sausage
2 c. chicken stock
4 c. water
4 c. chopped fresh kale

1 – cook the rice 1 c. water per 1/2 c. dry rice. 45 min.
2 – in a large pot saute onion and pepper. Add Kale. Cook til softened, set aside in bowl
3 – in same pot, cook sausage, add garlic.
4 – return veggies to pot, add stock and water. Bring to a boil. Add rice. Cook til heated through.

Enjoy!
