Spicy Sausage and Kale Soup
with carrots

Active: 35 min Total: 35 min
We love one-pot soups, and this one is perfect for winter with both hearty ingredients and warming flavors. Plus who doesn't love a fried egg finish?
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 first part of 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 tomatoes, carrots, celery, 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 8 to 10 minutes. Add kale leaves and simmer for another minute. 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.
  4. While soup is simmering, heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add second part of cooking oil and then crack eggs into heated oil. Lightly salt and pepper and cook for ~3 minutes. Cover pan with a lid and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until whites are set. If you like your eggs more cooked, flip and cook for another minute or two.
  5. Divide soup into bowls and top with eggs and any desired seasonings - salt, pepper, harissa paste, or hot sauce.
