1. Kale & Sausage Soup

The traditional German flavors of kale and sausage in a kale soup, aka Grünkohlsuppe, ... real down-home goodness with extra veggies to make it extra good.

The delicious earthiness of the kale really shines through. It's perfect for my "meat-and-potatoes" hubby. Filled with lots of goodness, it really satisfies.
