Kale, Sausage, and White Bean Soup!

In my last organic produce delivery I got a bunch of kale and some celery.  While I love kale, I was really looking to do something different!  So I researched and came up with this recipe.  I made a few changes and am really happy with the end result!
2T Wildtree Roasted Garlic Grapeseed Oil
 1C diced onion
1C diced red pepper
1C diced celery
1/2C diced carrot
1/2C mushrooms
8oz diced smoked sausage
2 cloved minced garlic
1 bunch rinsed and chopped kale
4C chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can Great Northern Beans
1 can Cannelini Beans
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

In a large skillet heat grapeseed oil over medium-high heat.  Add onions, bell pepper, celery, carrots, mushrooms, and sausage.  Saute, stirring, until onion is tender.  Reduce heat to medium-low.  Add kale and garlic; cover and continue cooking for 2 minutes.  Add broth, tomatoes, and beans; cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, until veggies are tender.  Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed.

The ingredients in bold are the additions/changes I made.  Unfortunately, this is not a meal my family would even taste so I didn't have any guinea pigs to try it out on but I really enjoyed it!  The steaming bowl was perfect to enjoy on this semi-cold, rainy day!
