Ingredients
- ¾ pound ground Italian sausage mild or spicy (375g)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 pinch red chili flakes (omit if using spicy sausage)
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1½ pounds russet or gold potatoes peeled and chopped (about 4 medium)
- 2 cups chopped kale
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the sausage with the onion for 4 to 5 minutes, until browned. If there is a lot of fat in the pan, you can drain it or soak it up with paper towel and discard.
- Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chili flakes and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the broth and potatoes. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the kale, cream, and Parmesan. Heat through, then taste before serving.

Notes
*If you want to thicken the soup, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of corn starch to the cream before adding to the soup.
Storage:
Leftover Zuppa Toscana will last in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat, microwave or warm on low on the stove until heated through.
You can also store this soup in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Keep in mind that the texture of potatoes does change with freezing, so if that is something that bothers you, it's best not to risk it. To reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight and warm on the stove or in the microwave.
