Navy Bean and Smokey Sausage Soup

I would recommned using navy beans if you make this; I used great northerns and had to cook and cook them to get them tender enough to eat ( I had soaked them overnight, and still had to cook them another 2 1/2 hrs before they were edible, instead of the 30 min or so the recipe states.) By the time I had finally gotten the beans cooked enough, the kale resembled canned spinach that was way overcooked! Also, we really did not like the flavor that much, including my mother who loves beans and smoked turkey sausage. I would not make this again, sorry.

This was so good! My whole family loved it. It will be one I make again and again.

It was wonderful. Second time I made it I added a little less water and kale and it was even better.

made it for casual company--everyone raved! ended up switching out turkey sausage for precooked smoked turkey drumsticks from new seasons, which was delish! also, i added more rosemary, more garlic and some other spices like pepper.

I loved this soup. I felt so special cooking with kale; I never have before. A great way to add variety to dried beans. I'll make this again for sure.

This was fantastic! I didn't even know what Kale was until I decided to make this recipe. This is a good hearty cold-weather soup.

This was a very filling and tasty soup. My kids even liked it. Very good with a roll and jam.

My family enjoys bean soup and I will add this one to the collection. Not only is this super healthy, but it is yummy as well. I have never used kale before and since making this I would add it to a variety of meals.

A great, hearty fall or winter meal. I added a bit more spice and served with whole wheat rolls. Big hit with the family!

I'm always looking for something new and this was a great bean soup. My whole family loved it, and my son didn't even notice it had kale!
