Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
14 ounces bulk Italian sausage
1 large onion (diced small)
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes (cut into 1-inch cubes)
6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
15 1⁄2 ounces can of cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
1 large bunch of kale (torn into medium pieces)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Instructions

Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high. Brown sausage in oil, breaking it up into small pieces until cooked through. Set aside sausage in a covered bowl. Reduce heat to medium and sauté onions in the same stockpot, stirring regularly for 7 minutes until soft and translucent. Add oregano, fennel, and garlic powder, stirring another minute. Add potatoes and stock. Cover, turn heat to high, and bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are fork-tender — start checking after about 7 minutes. Stir in beans, kale, and reserved sausage, cooking until kale wilts and soup is heated through. Stir in vinegar and serve.
