Zuppa Toscana

on

Zuppa Toscana from Courtney Holsworth’s  A Life From Scratch Instagram page is such a delicious soup. It is definitely comfort food in a bowl and so easy to put together for a Saturday or Sunday night supper.

Zuppa Toscana—Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound mild or spicy Italian sausage (Usually I stay away from sausage, but I did use it with this soup.)
  • 1 tablespoon (or a bit more) of olive oil
  • 2 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes
  • 8 cups chicken stock
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • A few handfuls of kale, chopped (I used a 9 oz. bag of spinach.)
  • Half and Half, just a splash for richness (I used about 1/4 cup of nonfat Greek yogurt.)
  • Parmesan cheese, shaved, for topping (Optional or use Follow Your Heart Parmesan Shreds)
  • Serve with crusty bread (I did not. 😊)
Directions:

  1. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Brown Italian sausage, crumbling it into small pieces. Drain any extra fat.
  2. Add in onion and sauté for a few minutes. Add in garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if you’d like.
  3. Add chicken stock, potatoes and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until potatoes are softened, roughly 10 minutes or so.
  4. Before serving, stir in spinach and swirl in the Greek yogurt.
  5. Pour into bowls and top with Parmesan cheese, if desired.


This soup is flavorful! The leftover soup is even better after all of the flavors sit overnight. I will definitely be making Zuppa Toscana again! I hope you will try it soon! Enjoy!
