  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pound spicy Italian sausage
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup uncooked ditalini pasta
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 cup chopped kale
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • Kosher salt
  • fresh cracked pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, crumbling it with a spatula until browned and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate.
  2. Melt butter in the large pot. Add onion and a couple pinches of salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes.
  3. Reduce heat to medium and add garlic, Italian seasoning, and flour and cook, stirring frequently, for a couple minutes.
  4. Add a few splashes of chicken stock to the pot to deglaze the pan and scrape all the yummy bits off the bottom.
  5. Add uncooked ditalini, sun-dried tomatoes, the remaining chicken stock, the cooked sausage, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper to the pot.
  6. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Stir every minute or so to ensure that the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot.
  7. Add kale, heavy cream, and balsamic vinegar. Stir until the kale is wilted.
  8. Season to taste with salt and pepper and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can adjust the spice by using different sausages. Spicy Italian sausage is going to give the soup a delicious kick. Mild or sweet Italian sausage are going to give you great flavor without any of the heat.

  • Alternatively, you can also add a pinch or two of crushed red pepper to add some additional heat.

  • Once you add the pasta, be sure to stir the soup every now and then so that the noodles don’t stick to the bottom of the pan too much.
