Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 ounces hot Italian sausage, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 6-ounce can (3/4 cup) frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
- 1/2 bunch kale, trimmed and roughly chopped
- 1 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes
- 1 14-ounce can white beans, drained and rinsed
- 16 littleneck clams, scrubbed
- 1 to 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- Crusty bread, for serving
Directions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, turning, until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the onion is soft, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the orange juice concentrate, kale and 3 cups water. Add the tomatoes and break them into chunks with a spoon. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until thickened, about 30 minutes.
Add the beans and clams. Return to a boil over high heat, cover and cook until the clams open, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and serve with bread.

Terrible. Never again, I tell you. The orange juice was way too sweet and through the flavors out of balance. To top it off, the kale and beans just help salvage the soupy mess.

This was a bit to sweet & sour for me. I followed the cooking instructions to a tee, but it came out to tangy for me. It has a lot of the ingredients I love, but I have never put OJ in a soup. Maybe next time I make it with less OJ, it will be better.

This soup was very easy to make and absolutely delicious. And I liked the fact that there was no added salt. Perfect for a cold winter's night.
