Warm up to a bowl of delicious creamy Zuppa Toscana. This comforting soup is full of flavor enriched with crumbled savory Italian sausage, tender soft kale, thickened with both potatoes and cream. Be sure to grab a slice or two of a nice crusty warm bread smothered with butter to dip in the soup for some extra flavor. So comforting and cozy.
A warm comforting bowl of creamy soup filled with tasty aromatic italian sausage crumbles, mixed in with tender kale and buttery soft golden potatoes.
Heat large pot to medium heat with 1 Tbs olive oil. Add sausage, break apart with a wooden spoon into crumbles, cook until browned and cooked through. Use slotted spoon and transfer sausage to a plate lined with paper towel, set aside.
To the same pot, add onions, cook until translucent stirring occasionally. Add red pepper flakes and garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add chicken broth, potatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes. To check if potatoes are done, try pressing a potato cube against the side of the pot using the back of a spoon. It should be soft and easily mash between the spoon and the side of the pot.
Stir in kale, heavy cream, and reserved sausage. Stir well and bring to a light boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste if needed, then remove from heat.
Ladle into bowls and top with shredded parmesan cheese.
