Soup It Up

This is one of our favorite soups and B frequently requests it. B's dad, affectionately known as Pops, had it this past weekend and he fervently asked that I place it on this little bloggy poo. Hope you enjoy it - it is super simple and satisfying, we usually have it with some garlic bread.

1 link of Beef Kielbasa - halved and sliced (you basically want little slices of half moons)
2 cans diced tomatoes
1 bunch Kale - de-stemmed and chopped
2 cans Chicken or Beef Broth
1 large onion - chopped
2 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. Hot Sauce (Cholula reigns in Casa de Campbell)
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan and add the onions. Saute the onions until they are starting to brown, add the minced garlic. 
2. Add the Kielbasa to the pan to get some of that browned yumminess - Kielbasa is fully cooked already so you are just adding some character.
3. Add the tomatoes and broth to the pot and lower the heat. Season with the hot sauce and salt and pepper.
4. Add in the chopped kale 5 minutes before serving. This will allow the kale to stay bright green and still have a nice crunch to it.
5. Ladle up and serve with your favorite bread and a sprinkle of Parm.

Like, I said, Easy Peasy!
