Chicken Sausage, Kale & Mushroom Soup
with Pearl Pasta, Cannellini Beans & Chili Flakes
Is there anything cozier than a hearty bowl of soup? We think not, which is why our chefs created this soul-warming Italian-inspired meal. Tender white beans simmer with earthy mushrooms, silky kale, and lots of garlic, plus tender, springy fun-to-eat pearl pasta in a rich veggie broth. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle generously with our Italian cheese blend for a meltingly delicious topper, then finish with as many spicy red pepper flakes as you’d like.
Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Instructions
• Wash and dry produce. • Trim and quarter mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!).
Open package of chicken and drain off any excess liquid. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken or sausage; cook, stirring frequently, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pot.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • While mushrooms cook, peel and mince or grate garlic. Remove and discard any large stems from kale; chop into bite-size pieces if necessary.
Use pot used for chicken or sausage here.
• Stir 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and garlic into pot with mushrooms; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds. • Stir in kale, stock concentrates, couscous, beans and their liquid, and 2 cups water (4 cups for 4). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until kale is wilted and flavors meld, 6-8 minutes. • Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Once kale is wilted and flavors meld, add chicken or sausage to soup.
• Divide soup between bowls and top with Italian cheese blend. Sprinkle with as many chili flakes as you like. Serve.
Chicken Sausage is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.
