ITALIAN SAUSAGE KALE SOUP

Italian Sausage Kale Soup image

My mom dehydrates the last pick of tomatoes from her garden each fall-perfect for quick soups like this one. When I have time to prepare dried beans, I do-but don't worry if you don't. Canned beans are just as good. -Lori Terry, Chicago, Illinois
