Description

A simple recipe for creamy Zuppa Toscana ready in 30 minutes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound russet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups kale, chopped, stems removed
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the Italian sausage in a large pot over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the sliced potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream. Heat through but do not boil.
  6. Add the chopped kale and cook until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Serve hot.

  • For a thicker soup, mash a few potato slices against the side of the pot.
  • You can substitute turkey sausage for a lighter option.
