Kale & Sausage Soup


the good thing about going on an island vacation in the winter is the weather.
the bad thing about going on an island vacation in the winter is the weather...
when you get back home.
seriously, new york? 26° for my homecoming?
and summer is still 4 months away?
the only thing i could think to do was to make soup.
one of my favorites, which is so so easy from martha stewart.
i substituted in chorizo chicken sausage and veggie stock, used lots of extra celery, 
and accidentally used split peas this time instead of lentils. (a pleasant surprise)
the addition of a few bay leaves, thyme, and a bit of garlic did the trick.
if it has to be winter, might as well eat some damn good winter food.
