chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water + bouillon cubes

Vegetable broth is lower in calories and can be homemade.

kale

🥗Healthier: spinach

💰Cheaper: collard greens

Collard greens are often cheaper and provide similar nutrients.

Start by cooking a couple of sausages in canola oil in a nice big frying pan until they get a little bit golden on either side.

Prepare some kale by removing the stem and cutting it into nice thin ribbons, then chop it into nice bite-sized pieces.

Once the sausages are golden, flip them over and add the kale, sprinkling it around evenly.

Cover the pan and let it cook until the kale wilts, turning a beautiful emerald green color.

Add a little bit of salt to help the flavors.

Pour in 4 cups of brothy beans, crushing up the vegetables in the broth as you add them.

Cover the pan and bring it up to a simmer.

Serve the stew in a bowl, drizzling it with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and adding a few shavings of Parmesan cheese.
