If you’re a fan of hearty, comforting soups, then you’re going to love this Super-Delicious Zuppa Toscana recipe! This Tuscan-inspired soup is packed with savory Italian sausage, tender potatoes, and crisp kale, all simmered in a rich, creamy broth. Perfect for a cozy dinner, this dish is sure to become a favorite in your household.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy, according to your preference)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 4 cups water
• 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
• 2 cups kale, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: red pepper flakes for a bit of heat

Instructions:

1. Cook the Sausage: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a spoon. Remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add the Liquids and Potatoes: Pour in the chicken broth and water, then add the sliced potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
4. Add the Kale and Cream: Stir in the chopped kale and let it cook for about 5 minutes until wilted. Add the cooked sausage back into the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes.
5. Season and Serve: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.

Tips:

• For a healthier version, use turkey sausage and substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
• Make it gluten-free by ensuring your sausage and broth are gluten-free.

Enjoy this delicious and easy-to-make Zuppa Toscana with your family and friends. It’s the perfect dish for a chilly night or whenever you need a little comfort food. Happy cooking!
