White Bean Soup with Kale and Vegan Sausage

Jump to Recipe Pin Recipe Print Recipe

White Bean Soup with Kale and Tofurky Vegan Sausage | www.thenutfreevegan.net

It’s the day after the Super Bowl and while I’m not a football fan at all, I was very excited last night when the Philadelphia Eagles took the Vince Lombardi trophy home to the city of brotherly love for the first time ever. I’m from a town a few hours west of there—and lived in the city for a while—so they’re the team the people I know root for. I always like to see people happy, and I know a lot of people were last night. Especially my wife’s family. They’re all long-suffering Eagles fans who finally got to see their team win a championship, and that’s pretty awesome.

I know a lot of people will stay home from work today—hopefully they didn’t overdo it with too many awesome vegan appetizers—but I’m here, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to bring you a great new recipe that I think will come in handy throughout the bone-chilling weeks of February.

However you put it together, this soup is going to make you really happy. It’s just what you need to power through these last few frosty weeks of winter.

    I bought a giant bag of the Gardein vegan sausage and wanted to use it in some different recipes. I absolutely loved this and enjoyed the leftovers throughout the week for lunch. I ended up using spinach instead of kale because it’s what I had, but it turned out great!

Hi there! 👋 It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted. Turns out training for a marathon takes just about all of your effort. Who knew? But I’m back now with what I hope will be the first of consistent weekly recipes (at least until the next marathon 😂).

This one is for Baked Tofu and Baby Bok Choy. It’s SUPER simple and takes very little effort. Plus it’s totally versatile too; you can serve it with rice, with noodles, or even in a soup—whatever you’re feeling on the day. 

I used @nasoya’s extra firm tofu here because it’s non-GMO Project verified, USDA organic, cholesterol-free, gluten-free, and preservative-free. All the things I look for when buying products these days.

I’m so happy to be back sharing recipes and can’t wait to pit a few more out there in the upcoming weeks!
Happy #Veganuary! I love this month because so man Happy #Veganuary! I love this month because so many more people are trying out the vegan lifestyle.

I’ve put together ten really easy to make, really tasty recipes to get you started. There’s something for every time of day, and if you build on this list with some of the other myriad resources out there you’ll be set for the whole month! The link to the post is in my profile.

I’m also here to help in whatever way you need, so please do DM me if you have any questions about going vegan for Veganuary. Happy eating!
Yes it’s 60 degrees in New Jersey in December 😬. But that’s still comfort food weather to me, and nothing fits the bill better than this Beefless Beef Stew with @gardein Beefless Tips—a long-time reader favorite on the NFV website. It’s hearty and totally delicious. Grab the recipe link in my profile and enjoy!
We have a wonderful ramen restaurant here in our t We have a wonderful ramen restaurant here in our town of Montclair. They offer a vegan version they is out of this world. But whenever we order from them Laura and I are equally, of not more, excited about the edamame they serve: it’s tossed in chili oil and charred. So amazing. Of course I had to take a shot at recreating it for the site and this Chili-Charred Edamame recipe was born. It’s great as either an appetizer or a snack! Check out the recipe at the link in my profile.
