Ingredients

  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed and discarded

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 8 ounces kielbasa sausage, sliced thin

  • 1 bunch green onions, sliced

  • 3 cups chicken broth

  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 pinch ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 pinch grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Directions

  1. Roll kale leaves into tight tubes and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips.

  2. Heat oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir kielbasa in hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir green onions in with sausage; cook until onions soften, about 3 minutes. Add kale; cook and stir until kale wilts, about 3 minutes.

  3. Pour chicken broth over the kielbasa mixture; add beans and stir. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook at a simmer until kale is completely tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and top with Parmesan cheese.
