My Kinda Zuppa Toscana image

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.

I didn't like this soup at all. The kale was too bitter and the sausage was too greasy. I won't be making this again.

I thought this soup was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I probably won't make it again.

I'm not a huge fan of kale, but this soup changed my mind! The kale was cooked perfectly and added a nice texture and flavor to the soup. I also loved the addition of the sausage and potatoes. This soup is a definite winner!
