Zuppa Toscana is a hearty Italian soup made with sausage, potatoes, and kale. It offers a rich and creamy texture with a hint of spice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)
  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, sliced thin
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups kale, chopped (stems removed)
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for sautéing
  • Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks.
  2. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the onions become translucent.
  3. Stir in the sliced potatoes, mixing them well with the sausage and onion mixture.
  4. Add the chicken broth to the pot, ensuring all ingredients are submerged. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
  5. Allow the soup to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  6. Once the potatoes are cooked, add the chopped kale to the pot. Allow it to wilt for about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
  9. Remove from heat and ladle the soup into bowls. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if preferred.
