Italian sausage, bean, kale soup!

No photo, but very good. Adapted from a conversation with someone in my yoga class

3 links hot italian sausage
1 diced onion
1-2 diced carrots
2 15oz cans cannelli beans (white kidney beans)
6 cups chicken broth
1-2 cups kale
In a heavy bottomed pan, brown the sausage (take out of the casing first). Remove from pan and add one onion, saute until translucent and add carrots. Return sausage to the pan and add the chicken broth. Drain and rinse the beans. Add 1 can to the pot as is. Take the other half of the beans and mush them up with a fork into a paste and then add them. Cook until the carrots are hot and then add the kale. Cook 5 min more until kale is wilted. Serve with crusty white bread.
