Kale Pumpkin Sausage Soup

Happy Halloween! I’m getting over a wicked cold, just started a new job, there’s been a big drop in the weather and my daughter has decided that she doesn’t need to take naps anymore! There’s nothing I want more than COMFORT FOOD!! This Kale Pumpkin Sausage Soup is really easy, really hearty and takes almost no time. If you don’t like spicy food, swap out the hot Italian sausage for mild/sweet Italian sausage. Whichever you decide to use, RUN to make this soup! It’s so comfortingly creamy while not being too thick, the kale gives it a nice bite and the sausage gives so much flavor to the broth.
