Pour in broth, raise heat to high and bring just to a boil, scraping up brown bits from pot. Return sausage to pot; stir in tomatoes and beans. Bring back to a boil, reduce heat to low; simmer for 15 minutes.

This soup is easy and delicious. I used half of a 10 oz. package of frozen organic kale in place of the chard.

I tried this soup last night and it turned out delicious! It's easy to follow and very flavorful. I added HOT italian sausage for a little bit of a kick. I froze half of the soup (before adding the chard and parsley) because it was a lot for just 2 people. Note that it takes more like 45 mins to cook, not 30. I'm not sure how they came up with only 30 mins! But still, do NOT let that deter you from making it. I already shared this recipe with my co-workers. YUM!!
