There’s something comforting about leftovers that earn their place at the table. Tonight, it’s Sausage & Kale Soup from Magnolia Table, Vol. 1, paired with yesterday’s Beer Bread. The soup simmers with garlic and smoked sausage, mingling with kale until it turns tender and rich. The bread, now a day old, somehow tastes even better—denser, heartier, and made for dipping.

It’s the kind of meal that doesn’t ask for effort, just attention. A little stirring, a little patience, and the kitchen fills with the kind of scent that says, you’re home.

Cooking Tip: Always let soup rest for 10–15 minutes before serving. The flavors deepen as it cools, and every spoonful will taste more balanced.

Kitchen Tool: A Dutch oven—the unsung hero of comfort cooking. It holds heat, builds flavor, and makes even simple ingredients feel intentional.
