Best 3 Beks Spicy Tuscan Soup Recipes

TUSCAN SOUP

Steps:

• Remove skin from sausage and crumble into frying pan. Add chopped onion, and cook over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. If you are trying to cut fat, remove meat from pan, place in a colander, and rinse under cold water.
• Place meat in a large pot; add stock and potatoes. Boil until potato is cooked.
• Add spinach. Continue boiling until spinach is lightly cooked.
• Remove soup from heat, stir in evaporated milk, and season to taste. Do not add any salt if using canned stock.

BEK'S SPICY TUSCAN SOUP

Steps:

• Remove casings from sausage links and slice. Place sliced links in a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium high heat and brown until no longer pink. Drain excess grease, but do not rinse.
• Reduce heat to medium, add onion and cook until soft, stirring often. Add garlic and sautee one minute longer (careful not to scorch it!), then add stock and potatoes. Simmer until potatoes are fork tender.
• At this point, if you prefer a thicker broth, feel free to hit it with an immersion blender for a couple seconds, or mash some of the potatoes with a fork and stir in to the broth. The addition of the cream at the end will thicken it slightly, but use your judgement and your family's preference as your guide.
• Add beans, tomatoes, and spinach, simmer until spinach is just wilted but still green, 1 - 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in milk or cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper, serve with crusty bread.

• Stir celery, zucchini, carrots, and garbanzo beans into soup mixture; simmer until potatoes are tender and flavors have blended, 45 minutes.
