MY KINDA ZUPPA TOSCANA
Italian flavors blend in a creamy, satisfying soup that has potatoes, italian sausage, and kale. I like a kick, so I use spicy sausage and add crushed red pepper flakes. The heavy cream really pulls this soup together and makes it restaurant-worthy! Don't forget a fresh, crusty loaf of bread for dipping.

Steps:
- Saute ground spicy italian sausage and crushed red pepper flakes in 1 T olive oil. (I use 8 quart stock pot.) Drain fat and move mixture into bowl, set aside.
- In same pan, add 1 T olive oil and saute white onions, garlic, bacon bits, and potatoes until onions are soft.
- Add water and chicken boullion powder and stir thoroughly. Bring to a gentle boil and continue cooking until potatoes are soft, 20-30 minute.
- Turn off heat, immediately add kale, sausage and heavy cream. Stir together.
- Garnish with chopped italian parsley or chives, serve hot with slices of bread.
Tips:
- Use high-quality sausage for the best flavor. Italian sausage is a classic choice, but you can also use breakfast sausage, chorizo, or even turkey sausage.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. Kale, spinach, and zucchini are all great additions to this soup. You can also add potatoes, carrots, or celery.
- Use a good quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but still have a bit of crunch.
- Serve the soup with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread.
Conclusion:
Zuppa Toscana is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its creamy broth, tender vegetables, and savory sausage, this soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
