Kale, White Bean & Sausage Soup

We aren't huge soup fans in our house, especially broth based soups. But for some reason this is one that we adore. Add a bit of parmesan cheese and it's even better.
We enjoy adding mung beans to it for a bit of extra protein as well.

Kale, White Bean & Sausage Soup
keilbasa
1 onion, dicced
4-6 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup carrots
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup water
1.5 Tbs parsley
1 tsp oregano
6-10 kale leaves, washed, de-stemmed and chopped
2 cans of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
Optional: 1/4 cup steamed mung beans or peas
Optional: 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Heat stock pot to medium/medium high heat. Add in onions and garlic; sautee until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. While cooking, chop keilbasa into rounds and roughly chop kale. Add in the keilbasa rounds and cook until browned, 7-10 minutes. Add in remaining ingredients (chicken broth, water, parsley, oregano, kale, cannellini beans), mix well, and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Top with some Parmesan cheese.
