Kale and Sausage Soup

Hearty and healthy Kale and Sausage Soup. Spring is in the air and I could not be happier. I have been going for 2 hour hikes with my dog Ladybug and we are loving it. I see little flowers sprouting up, and the beautiful sunshine. We have so much to be thankful for. This recipe is a great springtime soup. It is also so easy to make and will stretch your dollar further as the ingredients are not expensive and usually have already stocked in your pantry.
