![Step 1](step-1.jpg) Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. (TIP: If you have a toaster oven, feel free to skip preheating.) In a #small microwave-safe bowl{}, place 2 TBSP @butter{} (4 TBSP for 4 servings) and a pinch of @italian seasoning{1%tbsp} (you'll use more later); bring to room temperature. Wash and dry all produce. Halve, peel, and finely dice @onion{2%unit}. Peel and dice @sweet potatoes{2%unit} into 1/2-inch pieces. Remove and discard any large stems from @kale{4%ounce}.

![Step 2](step-2.jpg) Heat a large drizzle of @olive oil{} in a #large pot{} over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add @italian chicken sausage mix{36%ounce} and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

![Step 3](step-3.jpg) Stir sweet potato, @chicken stock concentrate{4%unit}, 1 tsp Italian Seasoning (2 tsp for 4 servings), 2 1/2 cups water (5 cups for 4), and a big pinch of @salt{} into pot. (Save the rest of the Italian Seasoning for another use.) Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer for ~{7%minutes}.

![Step 4](step-4.jpg) Once soup has simmered for 7 minutes, uncover pot and stir in kale. Simmer, uncovered, until kale is wilted and sweet potato is tender, 5-7 minutes more. Season generously with @salt{} and @pepper{}. TIP: Prefer a brothier soup? Add another 1/4-1/2 cup water and an extra pinch of salt.

![Step 5](step-5.jpg) Meanwhile, mix softened butter and Italian Seasoning until thoroughly combined. Season with salt. TIP: If butter is not yet softened, microwave for 5-10 seconds. Halve @demi-baguette{2%unit} lengthwise; spread herb butter onto cut sides. Toast, cut sides up, on top rack (or in a toaster oven) until golden, 3-5 minutes. Halve each baguette piece on a diagonal.

![Step 6](step-6.jpg) Divide soup between bowls and top with @parmesan cheese{6%tbsp}. Serve with toasts on the side. Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
