Directions:
Pierce sausage with a fork and put into a 4 quart pan. Add the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a 6 to 8 quart pan, over medium heat, combine oil, bacon, onion, garlic, celery and parsley. Sauté until onion is limp, about 5 minutes. Add cooking water from sausage, beans, tomatoes, broth, carrot, celery, potato, and basil. Bring to a boil. Add zucchini and kale. Slice sausage into bit-sized rounds, add to soup with red wine and heat through. Serve steaming with parmesan and your favorite crusty bread.

Personal Notes:
I have only ever made this soup with venison hot sausage. I'm sure other types of savory sausage would work just as well.
