Kale and Sausage Soup with Cannellini Beans

Perfectly seasoned and so delicious! Anytime someone tastes this soup they ask for the recipe!

1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
7 large segments of garlic, crushed or finely chopped
1/2-1 lb Italian Sausage (I use 3-4 links of sweet Italian Sausage and squeeze it out of the links)
5 cups chicken broth or stock (if you are making it without sausage to be vegan use veggie broth)
2-3 cups water
4 15 oz cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed (I blend up one and add it at the end to thicken the soup
1/4 tsp basil
Dash of red pepper flakes
2 tbsp Italian Salad Dressing (can substitute 1/2 tsp Italian Salad Dressing mix and a dash of red wine vinegar)
2-3 cups roughly chopped kale
Salt and pepper to taste

In a large soup pot add the olive oil, sausage, and onion. Cook until meat is almost completely browned and add garlic. cook for another 2-3 minutes I salt and pepper this mixture lightly while it is...
