"This is an Italian inspired soup meant well for a cold-weather dish that says comfort. The small amount of cornmeal (polenta)..secret ingredient, just is enough to thicken the broth slightly. It balances the substantial sausage and greens for a soothing cold-weather dish."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, leeks, garlic, salt, black pepper, and Aleppo pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion becomes translucent, 8 - 10 minutes.
Step 2
Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Drain off the excess fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pan. Stir in the cornmeal.
Step 4
Add the stock, stirring, and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Stir in the greens and cook for 15 minutes more, or until tender.

Ladle into bowls and garnish with grated Parmigiano.
