Ingredients:
1 lb ground Italian sausage
2 strips thick sliced bacon, chopped
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 t garlic, chopped
68 ounces chicken stock
2 14.5 oz cannellini beans
1/2 of a 16 oz bag of kale
1 c half-and-half
Method:
Brown sausage in Dutch oven, remove to paper towel lined plate, drain and blot to remove excess grease. Remove any remaining sausage grease.
Add chopped bacon and onion. Saute until onion is translucent. Add garlic. Give it a couple of minutes.
Add chicken stock, beans, sausage, and kale. Simmer until kale is cooked to your liking. Finish with the half-and-half.
Note: I used milk instead of the half-and-half, but only because I was out of half-and-half.
