Warm up with this slow cooker sausage kale soup. Packed with flavor and veggies, this 10-ingredient soup is low-carb, easy to whip up and tastes delicious!
Cooler weather is here and I’ve been craving warm and comforting meals like curries, stews and soups. If it’s steamy, aromatic and full of flavor, count me in!
That’s why I’m so pumped to be teaming up with my blogging girlfriends again this month to bring you SIX healthy and delicious soup recipes. We haven’t done a group post like this in a while, but we’re back at it with a new member (Hey Linds!) and a plan for some awesome posts to round out 2016.
And these soups. Let me tell you… they look so good! You’re definitely going to want to make them all.
Let me give you the rundown and then we’ll chat about my contribution, slow cooker sausage kale soup!
Chicken Tortilla Soup never got easier AND HEALTHIER! Throw everything in your crock-pot and you’ve got dinner ready before you know it!

And then there’s my slow cooker sausage kale soup.
I think this actually might be the first sausage recipe I’ve ever posted on EBF, unless you count this sweet and savory breakfast sandwich with veggie sausage, which I don’t.
That said, I’m kind of a newb to cooking with sausage and I didn’t get the hype until recently. But I totally get it now. Sausage has SO MUCH flavor and makes for such a rich and delicious soup.
For this soup, you can use whatever sausage you’d like. I used a local ground sage pork sausage, but if you’re looking for a leaner option you can use chicken or turkey sausage. And if you’re vegetarian or vegan, you can sub with veggie sausage or your favorite beans. I bet white beans would work great!
Like I mentioned before this soup is easy! Once you’ve cooked the sausage and veggies a bit, just let your slow cooker do the rest. Set it and forget it for a few hours. Add your kale right before serving so it doesn’t get overcooked and you’ve got a warm and comforting dinner. I recommend serving each bowl of soup with a little parmesan cheese and a few slices of crusty bread. Delish!

I did this on the stovetop adding kale with broth & 3 tablespoons of miso paste. Let it simmer 2 hours. Delicious.
Anyone try this recipe with an Instant Pot?
Can this be made just simmering in a pot for a few hours? Or does it have to be in the slow cooker?
Totally!! Once the sausage and veggies have cooked, I think you could simmer it for 20-30 minutes and be fine. Of course, it will get more flavor the longer is simmers. Let me know if you try it without the slow cooker!
I want a huge bowl of this for lunch! Can’t wait to make it!
I’ve only ever had soup with sausages once before, and since it was absolutely delicious, I think I need to try this recipe as well. I’m so pumped about all the soups that I’m going to have now that the cold weather is here – it really is such an easy and tasty way to get in a lot of veggies!
