1 bunch Tuscan kale, ribs removed, leaves torn into 2” pieces
1 15-oz. can whole peeled tomatoes, drained, finely chopped
1 15-oz. can cannellini (white kidney) beans, rinsed
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
4 ounces Parmesan, shaved
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°. Toss bread and 3 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking
sheet, squeezing to moisten; season with salt. Toast, tossing
occasionally, until golden brown and crunchy, 15–18 minutes. Let
croutons cool.
Using your hands, mix sausage and wine in a medium bowl until smooth.
Cook in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally,
until firm but not browned, about 4 minutes.
Add onion, carrots, celery, anchovies, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender but still
hold their shape, 20–25 minutes. Add kale, tomatoes, beans, and broth
and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally,
until kale offers no resistance when bitten and flavors have melded,
about 1 hour.
Just before serving, add vinegar and half of croutons to soup,
stirring to break them into smaller pieces. Divide remaining croutons
among bowls and ladle soup over. Serve topped with Parmesan and
drizzled with more oil.
