Bean, Kale, Sausage Stew

This one is pretty high in sodium. Try to find beans that are low sodium. It was good, though!! Here is the original recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp olive oil 
• 1 teaspoon garlic 
• 4 low sodium chicken sausage
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups less-sodium chicken broth
• 2 cans cannellini beans or other white beans, rinsed and drained
• 4 cups chopped kale 
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sausage; sauté 1 minute. 
2. Add water, broth, and beans; bring to a boil. 
3. Stir in kale, black pepper, red pepper, and salt; bring to a boil. 
4. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until kale is tender. 
5. Remove from heat; stir in lemon juice.
