Yum!

My school actually serves a variation of this. They put in sliced pork link sausage and tortellini and go pretty lite on the kale and beans. This looks much lighter and just as tasty!

The recipe for the sausage is linked in the Skinnytaste post. I have also used turkey bratwurst instead but usually just season my own turkey similar to her recipe:

This soup is delicious & is one of my very favorite recipes from her website. We make it a lot!
