At one point I was intending to make this recipe as specified. But I have a small crockpot, don’t like tomatoes in soups, and frozen spinach is far superior to kale in any form.
SO.
-Two bullion cubes instead of one.
-3.5 c water (or until you accidentally fill the crock pot too much and have to scoop some out)
-adding frozen spinach (lots!) at the end instead of fresh kale.
-no tomatoes because meeeeehhhhhWhich, all together, results in a hearty bean and sausage thing that I love.
Vegan version:
-fake sausage! This worked out wonderfully when I did it. Also means you can be more impatient about cooktime. I just bought whatever fake italian sausage was cheapest.
-veggie broth
sausage & kale cassoulet – (…sorta. Kate does a lot of things differently with this one)
