In a large soup pot, heat the oil and cook the onion until tender.  Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.  Add the stock and lima beans and simmer for 5 minutes.  Meantime, in a skillet, sauté the sausage and transfer it to the soup.  Add the potatoes and cover the pot and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft.  Add the kale and continue to simmer until wilted. Pepper to taste.  Serves 12
