- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 hot Italian sausages (about 1 pound), casings removed
- ⅓ cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ⅓ large head escarole, chopped (about 4 cups)
- 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed, drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed, drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can chopped roasted tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded carrot, kohlrabi, and/or radish (I used a blend of all three)
- 1 quart chicken or turkey stock
Heat the oil in a heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the sausage until cooked through, breaking it up with the back of a spoon, about 6 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium; add the onion to pot and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Mix in the garlic and escarole and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Add the beans, tomatoes, shredded vegetables, and stock; simmer 10 minutes to blend the flavors. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
