Spicy Sausage, Potato, and Kale Soup
with buckwheat (or kashi)

Active: 30 min Total: 30 min
We love one-pot soups, and this one is perfect for winter with both hearty ingredients and warming flavors. Use your favorite sausage and let it infuse the flavor of the broth.
Smarts: Harissa paste is a Middle Eastern chili paste with a deep smoky flavor. If you can find it, it's definitely worth trying. We love it to add a little heat to everything!

Make

  1. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then onions, kale stems, tomato paste, harissa paste (if using), and red pepper flakes with a dash of salt. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened.
  2. Next add in potatoes and sausage, and saute until they get a bit golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Pour in stock (add higher end of the range if you like a more broth-y soup) and bring to a boil. Simmer covered for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and fold in buckwheat (remember to have saved half for tomorrow) and kale leaves. Season to taste with more salt, pepper, and / or anything you like with some heat. This is meant to be a spicy soup but if you have kids, adjust accordingly.
