How to make Premio Sausage Ball Soup:
1. Heat a stock pot to medium heat. Add a little extra virgin olive oil
2. Once oil is heated, add Premio Sausage to pot by holding one end and squeezing the casing until the sausage comes out of the other end (the balls pretty much form on their own. Each casing holds 4 or 5 1/2-inch balls). Lightly brown sausage balls in oil for about 5 minutes.
3. Add chopped onion and mushrooms to pot, stirring frequently, until softened, about 3 – 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 additional minute. Season pot with salt and pepper. Add thyme and wine, deglazing bottom of pot.
4. Add chicken stock and increase heat to a low boil. Add beans and prepared kale to pot. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until kale is tender. Remove thyme sprigs before serving.
