Wash and dry all produce.

Prepare @carrot{1%unit}(peeled and thinly sliced into half-moons), @kale{3%oz}(stems removed and chopped into bite-size pieces), @cannellini beans{1%can}(drained and rinsed), and @lemon{1%unit}(quartered).

Heat a drizzle of @cooking oil{1%tbsp} in a #large pot{} over medium heat. Add @italian chicken sausage mix{6%oz} and press into an even layer with a spatula. Cook, undisturbed, until browned on bottom, ~{3%minutes}.

Break up meat into pieces, then add carrot, kale, and ½ tsp @salt{}. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sausage is cooked through, carrot is slightly softened, and kale begins to wilt, ~{4%minutes}.

Meanwhile, in a #small bowl{}, combine @cornstarch{1%tsp} with 1 tbsp @water{} until mixture is smooth and no lumps remain. [- TIP: Mix with your finger to ensure there are no lumps! -]

Stir @chicken stock concentrate{2%tsp}, cornstarch slurry, half the beans, and 1½ cups water into pot with sausage mixture. Using the back of a wooden spoon or spatula, partially mash beans in pot.

Cover and bring to a boil, then immediately reduce to a low simmer. Cook until kale is wilted and broth has thickened slightly, ~{5%minutes}. [- TIP: Check if the kale is wilting evenly and stir occasionally if necessary. -]

Stir in @cream sauce base{2%tbsp}, remaining beans, and a big squeeze of lemon juice. Cook until combined and warmed through, ~{2%minutes}. [- TIP: Add another splash of water if you prefer a thinner broth. -] Season with salt and @pepper{} to taste.

Divide soup between bowls. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
