Smoky Turkey Sausage, Kale, and Cannellini Bean Soup
I always thought of Arizona as a state in constant heat, until I moved here. Our family had vacationed here multiple times, mainly during the spring and summer months. We had never really experienced how cold the Phoenix area can actually get during the winter. We moved to Scottsdale in the middle of August 2017 which was sweltering hot. There were some days it was 105 degrees! I got so used to the heat that now when the temperatures are below 70 degrees I grab a jacket. Though lately, the temperatures have been in the 50's, and the 50's feel like the 30's to me. When you are used to the weather being very hot most of the time the days that are cooler feel colder than they really are. So, chillier temps require comforting foods, right? With a package of smoked turkey sausage in my fridge, and the need for a hot meal to feel like a blanket wrapped around me, I came up with this hearty soup. It is absolutely delicious!
