Ingredients

1 pound bulk Italian sausage
1 large onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound sweet potato, 3/4" thick chunks
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups chicken stock, low sodium
1 bunch kale, chopped

Preparation

In a large pot over medium-high heat, crumble the sausage and stir as it starts to sizzle. Add the onions. Stir and cook until the onion is softened and the sausage is browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and stir for a few seconds, then add the sweet potato and red bell pepper. Stir, then add oregano, salt and chicken stock.
Cover, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low to simmer. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a paring knife.
Stir in the kale and cook for five minutes to soften the kale.
Serve hot, or cool completely before storing, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for up to 4 days.
