This is really good, and great for freezing for another meal.
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add sausages. Use a fork to break up the meat and cook stirring often about 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir in onion, pepper, garlic, chili powder, and tomato paste. Cook until onion is soft about 3 minutes.
Add broth and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Add beans and kale. Stirring occasionally, until kale is cooked, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in lime juice just before serving.

I priced 13-bean soup mix recently and thought it was very expensive. I still had some at home. The recipe called for 2 cups of the mix.
Place beans into a 3 1/2 cup jar (layer or mix together) with a tight-fitting lid. Place pasta in a ziplock baggie and place on top of the beans.
Tastes good and I always think of good luck when I make it! Wash the beans. Cover with water; add 2 tablespoons salt. Soak overnight.
Instead of mixing the beans together, you can layer the beans. Very pretty! Just use about 1/8 cup of each bean until you fill the container.
These can make a great gift. Take a pint jar, layer the different beans, put the spices in a small Ziploc bag. Print cooking instructions on paper and glue to a recipe card.
