Kale & Pumpkin Soup

1 lb sweet Italian turkey sausage

½ cup chopped onion

2 cups chopped pumpkin

3 cups chopped kale

4 cups chicken broth

4 cups water

1.  Cook sausage in a medium sized saucepan. Add onions and sauté until translucent.  Pour the broth and water into the saucepan and bring to a boil-reduce heat.

2.  Add the kale and pumpkin and simmer until the pumpkin is soft, about 20 minutes.

3.  Serve hot, with a pinch grated Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.

Note: We typically want to avoid all winter squashes on the Hello Healthy Box diet. However, since pumpkin has the lowest carb, we sneak them in every once in a while.
