Ok all soups are easy but this was really, really tasty and looked good enough to sell.
1/2# smoked sausage (I used my own venison) cut into 1/4" slices if brat diameter, pan fry in olive oil with mushroom, green onion, minced garlic until browned, add chicken or beef stock to stock pot. add clean and chopped kale (several handfuls) and 1 chopped apple, and sun dried tomatoes diced small. also add pre soaked white beans about 1.5 cups or use other bean of choice as long as they are rinsed and drained.
cover and simmer until done salt and pepper to taste.
