Savory miso, tender white beans and browned sausage are incredible together in this hearty white bean kale sausage soup! Best paired with a thick wedge of bread for dipping.
Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or medium pot over medium-high heat and swirl to coat bottom. Add sausage and sauté several minutes until sausage is no longer pink. Transfer sausage to a bowl and set aside.
Sauté onion and carrot in drippings over medium-high heat until translucent. Add garlic and miso and cook 1-2 additional minutes until fragrant.
Stir chicken broth and white beans into onion mixture and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover pot, and allow to simmer 5-10 minutes until vegetables and beans are soft and tender, stirring occasionally.
Transfer 1-1/2 cups soup to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add back to pot of soup and stir well until combined.
Add kale and sausage to soup and allow to cook over medium heat 5 additional minutes until kale is wilted. Season soup with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm with fresh bread for dipping if desired. Enjoy!
