Chicken Sausage & Sweet Potato Soup

As the temperature continues to drop, we find ourselves craving the culinary equivalent of a cozy blanket. Enter this hearty, soul-warming soup. It’s chock full of goodness — that is to say spiced chicken sausage, chunks of sweet potato, and tender curly kale. And because no good brothy bowl is complete without some bread for dunking, we’re also throwing in buttery, herby toast points. Get ready for a meal as satisfying as it is delicious.

Instructions
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. (TIP: If you have a toaster oven, feel free to skip preheating.) Wash and dry all produce. Peel and dice sweet potato into ½-inch pieces. Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Remove and discard any large stems from kale. Place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) and a pinch of Italian Seasoning (you’ll use the rest later) in a small microwave-safe bowl; bring to room temperature.
Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes.
Stir sweet potato, stock concentrates, remaining Italian Seasoning, 2½ cups water (5 cups for 4 servings), and a big pinch of salt into pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer, covered, for 7 minutes.
Once soup has simmered for 7 minutes, uncover pot and stir in kale. Simmer, uncovered, until kale has wilted and sweet potato is tender, 5-7 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, mix softened butter and Italian Seasoning until thoroughly combined. Season with salt. (TIP: If butter is not yet softened, microwave for 5-10 seconds.) Halve baguette; spread herb butter onto cut sides. Toast on top rack (or in a toaster oven) until golden, 3-5 minutes. Halve each baguette piece on a diagonal.
Divide soup between bowls and top with Parmesan and a pinch of chili flakes if desired. Serve with toasts on the side.
