DAVE'S ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND KALE SOUP

Steps:

• This soup uses kale, but you can use any of the major greens you like. I have alternated in kale, escarole, and it has been reviewed with others using spinach. As the first review of this recipe indicates, using multiple pots can be a pain. However, the only reason to use two pots is if you are actually using kale. Other greens that are softer don't require blanching and as a result you can get away with using just one pot.
• Using two pans, the soup pot and a regular 12 inch sauté pan:.
• Step 1.
• In the soup pot:.
• Rinse the kale well, chopping off heavy stems.
• While the kale is wet just add to soup pot and add about a quarter cup of water. Blanch the kale leaves in pot, reserve liquid and leave in soup pot for now.

• Skin the sausage, split lengthwise while raw with knife, and cut into bite sized pieces, so they look like small meatballs.

• Make sure when cooking that you don't burn the sausage as you will be cooking with the sausage grease next.
• Pour out any grease that will easily drip out, but leave a fine coat of the sausage grease on the pan for your next step and set pan aside for now.
• If you burn chunks of sausage to the pan, just use a paper towel to wipe out any black crust but leave some of the fat there.
• Step 3.
• Once the sausage is set aside take the large pieces of kale and chop into bite sized pieces. Return to the soup pot, keeping any liquid in the pot.
• Add broth and tomatoes to the pot with the kale and begin to heat on high.
• Step 4.
• Sauté onion, garlic and jalapeño pepper into the slightly greasy pan with the 2 table spoons of butter.
• When onions are slightly translucent or about 3 minutes, add spices to this mixture.
• Step 5.
