"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 lb sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large carrots, finely diced
1 large potato, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 bay leaves
1 (15 oz) cans white cannelini beans, drained and rinsed
2 bunches kale, stems removed and roughly chopped
52 oz low-sodium chicken stock
Salt and black pepper to taste

1 loaf baguette bread and shredded Gruyere and Asiago cheeses (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
1. In a large pot, heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Add sausage and brown, stirring occasionally to break into smaller pieces, approximately 10 minutes.
2. Add onion, carrots, potato, and bay leaves. Season generously with salt and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add kale and cook until it becomes slightly wilted. Add chicken stock, season with salt and pepper, and cover with lid.
3. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat and keep at a simmer for about 45 minutes, although a bit longer is fine. The soup will thicken as the potatoes begin to release their starch into the soup.
4. The soup tastes better the second day! If time allows, cool completely and refrigerate for a day; reheat before serving.

5. If you're having the cheesy baguette, slice the baguette and drizzle each slice with olive oil and season with kosher salt. Bake at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes until toasted. Top with grated cheese and broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted. It can go from melted to burnt pretty fast, so don't leave the broiler unattended.

6. Divide soup into bowls and top with a few slices of the cheesy baguette.
