Low-carb Italian Wedding Soup



I actually used the whole pack of sausage and the whole bunch of kale so I added a little extra broth and seasoning. Here is the recipe... serves 4.

1/2 lb italian sausage, casing removed (I used mild)
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, pressed
2 cups kale, chopped
1 14oz can of chicken broth
2 zucchini, chopped
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp marjoram
1/2 tsp salt
Dash crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

In soup pot brown sausage, over med-high heat. Stir in onion and garlic; cook until soft. Add kale and cook another 3 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients; bring to boil then lower heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Soup should be quite thick.
