One of our favorite soups!

• 4 c. coarsely sliced kale leaves (center ribs removed)
• 1/2 c. chopped onion (about 1 medium)
• 4 1/2 c. water
• 1 t. lemon pepper
• 1 t. dried basil leaves
• 1/2 t. salt
• 6 precooked all-beef sausage links (about 4 oz), cut into fourths (I use all turkey smoked sausage)
• 2 medium parsnips, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 2 cans (15 oz each) cannellini or great northern beans, drained

Mix all ingredients in Dutch oven. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until kale and parsnips are tender.
