Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon oil
1 lb Italian sausages or 1 lb Italian turkey sausage link
1 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 cups water
4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled, quartered and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 lb kale, trimmed of stems and torn into 3-inch pieces
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
10 slices crusty bread

Steps:

In large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add Italian sausage links and cook, turning until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Take sausage out of pot and slice 1/4" thick.
Add onion to the drippings in pot and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes.
Return sausage to pot with garlic powder and pepper. Cook, stirring, for one minute.
Stir in water and chicken bouillon granules. Add sweet potatoes. Cover; bring to simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, 10-12 minutes.
Stir in kale. Cover; cook over low until kale is wilted, 5-6 minutes.
Sprinkle old-fashioned rolled oats over soup. Cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until oatmeal is softened and cooked through, 5 minutes.
Serve with crusty bread.
