Soup's ON!

[Owlie]

I'm glad this was bumped - I totally missed the recipe request. Here's one:

Potato Kale Soup

Ingredients:

Olive Oil
1 onion
4-5 cloves garlic
1 bag Morningstar Veggie Sausage Crumbles (http://www.morningstarfarms.com/morn...-crumbles.html)
6-8 cups chicken stock
water as necessary
5-6 smallish potatoes or 2 large russet potatoes
1 bunch Kale
1/2 cup Sour Cream
Salt to taste

Directions:
Drizzle olive oil around pan. Mince garlic and dice onion. Cook on medium-low until tender. Add Sausage Crumbles and saute until thawed. Add chicken stock. Dice potatoes (1" or so) and add to broth. Add water as necessary to cover ingredients by about an inch. You may need to add more as it cooks. Bring to a boil over medium high and the reduce the medium. Cook until potatoes are almost tender. Remove stems from kale and rough chop leaves. Add to soup and cook over medium another 10 minutes or so. Put sour cream in bowl, and mix with broth from soup to temper. Add broth/sour cream mixture to soup and heat through. Salt to taste.

Ooh, that looks good. Think real sausage (removed from its casing, browned and drained of grease) will work? Or will the flavor be too strong? (I don't do meat substitutes...)
