===== Directions =====
  -     Thoroughly rinse and clean the dried beans, discarding any disfigured or shriveled beans and any rocks or debris. Add the beans to a stockpot with enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer on low for 30 minutes. Set aside about 1 cup bean cooking liquid. Drain beans and set aside.
  -     In a second large stockpot, heat the olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery and garlic and saute until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the Italian sausage and cook until done, breaking sausage into smaller, bite-size pieces as it cooks.
  -     Add the Beef Bone Stock, water, carrots, bay leaves, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the rehydrated beans, 1 cup reserved bean cooking liquid, and the chopped kale to the stockpot and mix well. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  -     Using a slotted spoon, fill each jar three-quarters full with the sausage and vegetables. Be sure to obtain a good ratio of sausage and vegetables in each jar. Ladle the hot soup liquid over the mixture, being sure to leave a 1 inch headspace. Tamp the mixture down using an air bubble remover tool and add additional soup liquid if necessary to maintain the 1 inch headspace.
  -     Wipe the rim of each jar with a warm washcloth dipped in vinegar. Place a lid and ring on each jar and hand tighten.
  -     Place jars in the pressure canner, lock the pressure canner lid and bring to a boil on high heat. Let the canner vent for 10 minutes. Close the vent and continue heating to achieve 11 PSI for dial gauge and 10 PSI for a weighted gauge. Process quart jars for 90 minutes and pint jars for 75 minutes.
