Steps

15 mins

1

Add all ingredients except for kale, sausage and parmesan cheese and water
2

Empty sausage out of casings a piece at a time to resemble tiny meatballs. Brown them in a frying pan if you wish first. I never have time to do this so I just drop them in the crockpot raw
3

Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4
4

About 30 mins before serving taste soup and add water if too salty or too thick, and add chopped kale to crockpot
5

Add salt and pepper to taste and garnish with parmesan cheese
