Loaded with essential vitamins, minerals, and a dose of fiber, kale also has a nice earthy flavor that makes it so versatile! I use turkey sausage in this soup to cut the fat a bit but any smoked sausage will do. Stir in chicken broth, water, Italian seasoning, and cooked sausage and bring to a boil. Prepare the kale and set it aside. In a medium pot. boil sliced potatoes until tender.
