This is my family’s absolute favorite soup, and I can have it on the table in 30 minutes. I usually double the recipe, as the flavors blend and make the soup even better the next day.—Dawn Rohn, Riverton, Wyoming

This was sort of a new style of food for us. I made it because I had some kale on hand. I did leave out the bay leaves. We liked it and I will probably make it again. Two words of wisdom: don't skimp on the sausage and don't simmer too long. I simmered mine at the end for a bit longer than the recipe called for (not much, maybe 20 min more) and was disappointed to find the flavors to be noticeably blander than when I had tasted it immediately after combining all the ingredients.

Excellent soup! I used light smoked kielbasa. The potato kale sausage soup that appeared in Light & Tasty (now Healthy Cooking) is pretty much this same recipe (using lite kielbasa) if you want an idea on calories,etc. Easy to put together. Try this...you won't be disappointed!

This soup had such great flavor. The bay leaves really bring a nice comforting flavor to the soup. Thanks!

Very good soup. Flavorful! Never would have thought to use kale in a soup. We used diced tomatoes with basil and oregano. Great will make again

I am writing after making this soup 3 times. The soup flavoring is wonderful and the different textures combined make this soup the favorite of my family. We double the recipe and freeze the remainder in small containers so it's a "Soup on Call" BEST EVER!!
