Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preparing your ingredients. Dice the russet potatoes, chop the kale, and slice the beef smoked sausage.
  2. In a large soup pot, heat it over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until browned.
  3. Add the diced onions, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and ground white pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent.
  4. Incorporate the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  5. Mix the diced potatoes into the pot, pour in the chicken stock, and bring to a gentle simmer. Partially cover and cook for approximately 12 minutes.
  6. Stir in the navy beans and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and add the chopped kale, fresh parsley, and lemon juice. Stir until the kale wilts.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
