    Instructions

    1. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.
    2. Add chopped yellow onion, sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
    3. Stir in the Impossible Sausage, brown for 2 minutes.
    4. Add 4 garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
    5. Pour in 4 cups broth, diced sweet potatoes, and 1 bay leaf.
    6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer until sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
    7. Stir in the kale, allowing it to wilt, for about 3 minutes.
    8. Remove the bay leaf and season with salt & pepper to taste.

    Substitutions

    • Low-sodium - use low-sodium broth. If you can't find low sodium mushroom broth, use chicken or vegetable instead.
    • Kid friendly/non-spicy - use Impossible Plant-Based Savory Sausage instead or any other plant or meat based sausage.
    • Keto - use ground pork sausage, such as Isernio's Mild Italian Sausage, and substitute 4-6 large carrots chopped (about 2 cups) for sweet potato.

    Storage

    Store in an airtight container and eat within 3 days, or store in the freezer.
