Roberto | Recipes Of Note | Umami

Ingredients

• Olive oil
• 1 baseball-size onion, if you have one (if you don't have one, it's okay)
• 2-4 cloves garlic (enough garlic to make up approximately the volume of your thumb)
• Salt
• 1 pound hot italian sausage (chicken or turkey if you can find it - pork sausage is fatty, which makes for good sausage but not the best soup) (do not use breakfast sausage)
• 1 28oz can tomatoes, diced or crushed or whole and then you can crush them yourself later in the recipe.
• 1 14oz can of beans of any type (kidney, great northern, garbanzo, etc.)
• 4 cups of broth (chicken, beef, veggie, or honestly just a mix of water and wine is great)
• 1 bunch of kale, doesn't matter what kind but I prefer curly
• Pepper
• Hard, salty cheese like Parmesan or pecorino
• A lemon
