Instructions
In a large stock pot, combine olive oil, butter, onion, and garlic. Cook over medium heat just until the onions are clear. (about 3-4 minutes)Add sausage, pepper, basil, and oregano. Continue to cook over medium heat until sausage is cooked through. Break the sausage up into small pieces as it cooks.Add tomatoes (including any juice from the can), chicken stock, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, to allow the broth to get nice and rich and collect flavor. Add kale, salt, and the prepared orzo (drained and rinsed), and continue to cook for about 5-10 minutes more. (just enough to allow the kale to wilt) Serve and enjoy!
