Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8–16 ounces Beyond Meat Italian Sausage
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 yellow onion (diced)
  • 1/2 tablespoon fennel seeds (roughly chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (plus more to taste)
  • red pepper flakes (to taste)
  • 3 cloves garlic (diced)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk, unsweetened (I used soy)
  • 2 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon No Chicken Base
  • 1 teaspoon Better Than Bouillon No Beef Base
  • 5 small russet potatoes (or 2 large, peeled and diced into 1" cubes)
  • 2 cups kale (stems removed and chopped)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a stock pot over medium heat. Add vegan sausage, breaking it apart until browned (7-10 minutes). Remove with a slotted spoon.
  2. Melt vegan butter in the same pot, then whisk in flour until smooth.
  3. Sauté diced onion, fennel seeds, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until softened (5-7 minutes). Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  4. Slowly add water and non-dairy milk, stirring in bouillon. Add peeled and diced potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until potatoes are fork-tender (about 10 minutes).
  5. Stir in chopped kale and reserved sausage; cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Serve hot with toppings like black pepper or additional sausage.
