Zuppa Toscana is a creamy, hearty Italian-inspired soup made with spicy Italian sausage, beef, potatoes, and kale in a savory broth. It's a one-pot dish that's both comforting and filling, perfect for cozy dinners.

Ingredients

16 ounces spicy Italian sausage

8 slices beef

½ large onion, diced

2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced

28 ounces chicken broth (low-sodium)

24 ounces water (3 cups)

5 russet potatoes, medium, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper (optional)

4 cups chopped kale

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the spicy Italian sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Add the sliced beef and cook until both meats are browned and cooked through.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and water, then stir in the thinly sliced potatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Once the potatoes are cooked through, stir in the chopped kale and let it wilt into the soup.
  5. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy whipping cream for a rich, creamy texture. Season with crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.
  6. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes to fully incorporate the cream and flavors.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Zuppa Toscana!

Notes

  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and beef, and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • You can add more vegetables like carrots, celery, or bell peppers for added nutrition.
  • For a dairy-free version, replace the heavy cream with coconut cream or another dairy-free substitute.
  • If you prefer more heat, add extra crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • The soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
