Major comfort food alert! Bonus, it’s made in under 20 minutes. Depending on what kind of comfort I’m craving, I might not want to be slaving in the kitchen over an elaborate meal. Sometimes I do crave that kind of comfort, the comfort of spending hours in the kitchen, creating amazing food just because I want to. But the comfort I crave most these days is the comfort of a quick, healthy, easy meal after a long, tiring day. Something that doesn’t come from a box or can but will have me out of the kitchen and relaxing with my family, stat. Something that doesn’t make a hundred pans dirty. Something warm, hearty and filling. This recipe fits the bill in every single way. Don’t skip the homemade croutons which are like kryptonite to me, but I think it’s just the combination of the zesty sausage (I use sweet Italian but if you like it hot, go for spicy!), the creamy white beans, chewy kale, and sweet tomatoes. Oh, but the croutons. Don’t skip the homemade croutons. They soak up a little of the juice in this sausage stew while remaining crispy and perfect. Is it becoming evident that I have a crouton problem? I think our dinner plans for tonight may have just changed. Easy, good, and ready in 20 minutes!
