The mini star pasta in this warm and satisfying soup will charm kids instantly. If you can't find stelline, try orzo, Israeli couscous or alphabet pasta.
Ingredients
300 g turkey sausage, casings removed
1 small onion, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp ground chili powder
4 cups water
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup star-shaped pasta, (such as steliine)
1 540-mL can black-eyed peas, or navy beans, drained and rinsed
4 cups packed chopped kale
2 tbsp lime juice, optional
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium. Crumble in sausage meat. Cook, using a wooden spoon to break up meat, until no pink remains, 4 to 5 min. Stir in onion, garlic, tomato paste and chili powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to soften, 2 to 3 min.
Add water, broth and pasta. Boil, then reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is almost tender, about 5 min. Stir in beans and kale. Gently boil until kale wilts, 2 to 3 more min. Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice before serving.
