Spicy Pork Sausage Soup with Rotini Pasta, Kale, Fennel & GarlicSpicy Pork Sausage Soup with Rotini Pasta, Kale, Fennel & Garlic — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 10 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

2129 ml chicken or vegetable broth

3 fennel bulbs

6 cloves garlic

0.68 kg ground pork sausage

1 ½ bunches kale

1 ½ lemons

255 g rotini pasta

crushed red pepper

extra virgin olive oil

salt

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Trim off root end and stalks of the fennel, leaving only the white bulbs. Cut fennel bulbs in half lengthwise, then slice crosswise into thin half-moons.

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add fennel and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and starting to brown, 4-5 minutes.

Add sausage to the pot. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, 5-6 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice garlic.

When the sausage is done, add garlic and crushed red pepper to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add broth, water, and pasta to the pot. Stir to combine the soup and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is almost tender, 4-5 minutes more.

Meanwhile, fold kale leaves in half lengthwise and slice off the stems; cut leaves crosswise into thin (shred-like) pieces.

When the pasta is almost done, add kale to the pot in handfuls, waiting for it to wilt slightly before adding the next handful. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale and pasta are tender, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

Juice lemons into the pot and stir to combine the soup.

To serve, divide soup between bowls and drizzle with oil. Enjoy!
