Potato Kale Soup with Broccoli

Cloudy weather makes me want soup. I'm a pansy - even if it's 60 degrees I want something to warm me up! This soup is healthy, nutritious, spicy and delicious! The leftovers are even better after it's had a chance to marinate.

Ingredients:

• 1 container Hearty Vegetable Broth (or normal vegetable broth)
• 1/2 container Low Sodium Vegetable broth
• 1 lb small fingerlings potatoes - quartered
• 4 stems celery - diced
• 5 cloves garlic - diced
• 1/2 onion - sliced
• 3/4 - 1 head broccoli - torn into big chunks
• 2 zucchini's - sliced
• 1/2 soy longaniza spicy sausage - mashed between fingers
• 1 - 2 cups organic chopped kale - stem removed
• Season to taste with: Basil, Thyme, Garlic Salt, Oregano, Rosemary, Parsley, Pepper, Red pepper flakes.

Preparation:

• Add ingredients in order into big pot over medium to medium high heat, stirring frequently for 20 plus minutes.
• Lower heat, cover and simmer for 15 plus minutes, until potatoes are done. -Or-
• If you have time, allow soup to cook over low heat for a longer period vs. using the higher heat.

Tip: If you don't have vegetable broth use water and allow the ingredients to simmer longer and use more spices. Be creative! :)
