Is soup your jam in winter?
Through the fall and winter months, I like to make a big pot of soup at least
once a week. We'll have it for dinner and then for lunches until it is
gone.
Most of the time, I'll make a loaf of bread to go along with it because we
love to dip our crusty bread into the soup. You may want to try this
Foccacia bread recipe or this
honey oat bread recipe
with your soup.
Today's recipe for Spicy Italian Sausage Soup is one of those hearty soups
that will be perfect with a piece of crusty bread for dipping.
This Spicy Italian Sausage Soup is made quickly on the stovetop. You can control the spiciness by adjusting the ratio of sweet Italian sausage to hot Italian sausage. I use half hot Italian sausage and half sweet Italian sausage and the soup has just the right amount of spice for me.

Potatoes are yummy in this recipe. Sometimes I'll substitute pasta
for the potatoes. Any pasta you are in the mood for will work, even
gnocchi or cheese tortellini. That means you can change this recipe each
time you make it and it will seem like a different soup.
This soup will freeze well. I like to use quart deli containers that I buy online for soup. They are a perfect size. Soup in the freezer is a good thing.
I love serving soup in single-serving soup bowls like these crocks. These colorful single-serving bowls would also be fun for soup night.

If you are able to find loose Italian sausage in your local grocery store
buy it for easy preparation. It will eliminate the step of removing the
sausage casing.
Half hot Italian sausage and half sweet Italian sausage works for
me in the soup. You may like more or less of either.
Grating the garlic allows the garlic flavor to meld easily into the soup.
Kale has some pretty tough stems. You'll want to cut the leaves of
the kale from the stems and discard the stems. Cut the kale leaves
into bite-size pieces.
The kale will cook down and soften in the soup. Let the soup simmer
until the kale reaches the consistency you like.
If you prefer pasta to potatoes you may want to cook the pasta separately
and add it to the soup just before you serve it. Pasta will absorb
much of the broth as it cooks leaving your soup too thick. If this
happens you can add some water or broth to the soup.
