Place a lightly oiled pot over medium heat and once the temperature has been reached drop in the sausage meat. Cook until browned and then remove from pot and place on a paper towel to drain.
In to the same pot, add in the onions, garlic, and bay leaves. Allow to saute until the onions are soft. About 3-4 minutes.
Next up pour in the diced tomatoes and white beans. Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture and scrape the brown bits off the bottom of the pot. This is flavour left from the browning of the sausages.
Add in the kale, paprika, pepper, stock, and cooked sausage. Stir and then cover and allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes.
Season soup to taste and then serve in a bowl with a little bit of shaved parmigiana, black pepper, and chives. Enjoy!
