The ingredients for Birthday Soup are:

2 T Olive Oil
2 links hot italian sausage
2 medium onions, chopped
5 or 6 stalks celery, chopped
4 or 5 carrots, chopped
3 lbs wazy potatoes, cubed
1 28oz can whole plum shaped tomatoes
12 oz fresh green beans, snapped to spoon size
20 cups homemade chicken broth
2 cups sweet corn (frozen is fine, fresh is better)
3 or 4 leaves kale, ripped into bite sized peices

Here is how you make Birthday Soup:

Heat olive oil in large pot over medium heat, add sausage (remove casing). Either crumble the sausage by hand as you put it into the pot, or mash with a potato masher. If you're lucky enough to get loose sausage meat, this works marvelously.Once sausage is browned, reduce heat slightly and add chopped onion, celery and carrots, stir and cover to allow aromatics to sweat. Stir occasionally, until onions are tender.If you've built up some nice fond on the bottom of your pan, toss in a cup of broth to deglaze.Add potatoes, remainder of broth.Once broth is warm, add green bean and corn, and tomatoes. I find it easiest to just smush the tomatoes by hand into bite sized pieces, but feel free to chop them. When potatoes are tender, add shredded kale. Allow the kale to wilt, salt and pepper to taste. Eat endlessly and in large quantities. Number of Servings: 16Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SIMSARAH.
