Wash kale and tear leaves off stems and into bite-size pieces (discard stems). Crumble sausage from casings into a large, nonstick skillet. Stir over medium-high heat 3 minutes, until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate. Add kale to skillet and toss about 45 seconds, until bright green. Stir flour into broth. Add to kale and bring to a boil. Add tomatoes to skillet.
