A healthy twist on an old recipe.. Sausage, Kale, and Potato soup with yep QUINOA.. (Can be Vegan)

1 lb. Italian Sausage (I like it spicy, but for kids use sweet, also you can use veggie crumbles and season)
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Med. Organic Onion
1 Large Organic Garlic Clove
4 Tsp. Chicken Bouillon (I like Better than Bouillon Organic, or of course Vegetable Stock for Vegan)
2 lbs Organic Potatoes (Use sweet potatoes for a fun twist)
1 lb, Kale
1/2 Cup Qionoa
Salt & Pepper

In a large pot heat olive oil over medium heat, add sausage and cook until browned and cooked through (8 to 10 minutes).  Take sausage out of pot and cut into bite size pieces.  add chopped onion and garlic to drippings in pot; cook stirring until lightly browned (DO NOT LET THE GARLIC SIT, if it gets to brown it will leave a bitter taste) about 3 minutes.  Return sausage with 8 cups of water, bouillon, sliced potatoes, and quinoa cover and and simmer over medium-low heat, stir occasionally (easy so potatoes do not break) until tender, about 10-12 minutes.  Stir in chopped kale (trimmed away from the stem), cook for another 5 minutes, season to taste!

If you think you do not like kale, just try this one for me, it will change your mind.........
