Sauce Pan

Add the browned sausage and the kale and onion mixture along with the remaining 3 cups of chicken stock and stir together briefly. If using the rind for flavoring, add to the soup. Simmer for 30 minutes, then remove rind and add salt and pepper to taste.Note: As much as I preach about buying local, some things just cant be found in Colorado. Authentic Parmigiano Reggiano comes from the Parma area of Italy and is aged 24 months. Youll find it sold in wedges that retain the thick rind of the cheese wheel with a distinct dotted label on the rind. After you have used the cheese for grating, save these rinds in a plastic bag in the freezer they add a tangy background flavor in soups and stews. P.S. I think the Parmigiano Reggiano sold at Costco has wonderful flavor compares to what Ive eaten in Italy!)Facebook
