Chicken Sausage & Sweet Potato Soup
with Kale & Herb Butter Toasts
Rain or shine, warm or cool weather, it’s tough not to crave a big bowl of soup. Tonight’s soup is chock-full of Italian spiced chicken sausage, chunks of sweet potato, and tender kale. And because no good brothy bowl is complete without bread for dunking, we’re also throwing in buttery, herby toasts. Get ready for a meal that is 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.) In a small microwave-safe bowl, place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) and a pinch of Italian Seasoning (you’ll use more later); bring to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Peel and dice sweet potato into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Remove and discard any large stems from kale.
• 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, 4-6 minutes.
• Stir sweet potato, stock concentrates, 1 tsp Italian Seasoning (2 tsp for 4 servings), 21⁄2 cups water (5 cups for 4), and a big pinch of salt into pot. (Save the rest of the Italian Seasoning for another use.) Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for 7 minutes.
• Once soup has simmered for 7 minutes, uncover pot and stir in kale. Simmer, uncovered, until kale is wilted and sweet potato is tender, 5-7 minutes more. Season generously with salt and pepper. TIP: Prefer a brothier soup? Add another 1⁄4-1⁄2 cup water and an extra pinch of salt.
• 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 lengthwise; spread herb butter onto cut sides. Toast, cut sides up, 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. Serve with toasts on the side.
Chicken Sausage is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165º.
