Sausage, Kale and Potato Soup

  1. Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and crumble the sausage into the pan.
  2. Stir as the sausage starts to sizzle, then add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes, until sausage is browned and cooked through.
  3. Add the potatoes, carrot, garlic, chicken broth, tomatoes, kale, oregano, marjoram, and salt. If desired, add red pepper flakes.
  4. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes. When the potatoes are tender, serve.
