Zuppa Toscana Soup Recipe

I am so excited to share this Zuppa Toscana soup recipe, it came from a dear friend of mine. Unfortunately, the Coast Guard took them to a new place, but every time I make it I think of her and all the good times we had hanging out. You never know, maybe the Coast Guard will bring them back this way one day.

Zuppa Toscana Soup Recipe

Until she made this soup I never would have tried it when I went to Olive Garden. You see, I am a creature of habit, each time I went to Olive Garden I would only get the salad and breadsticks. I really enjoyed their ravioli or alfredo but never got a soup. I was overwhelmed by their soup choices.

Zuppa Toscana Soup Recipe

Zuppa Toscana soup is perfect to make on a chilly winter day. It is nice that you can easily decide how spicy you want your soup. You can pick mild or hot Italian Sausage, also you can control how much crushed red pepper flakes you add to it.

Zuppa Toscana Soup

Ingredients

  • 1 Onion chopped finely
  • 6-8 cloves of garlic chopped finely
  • 1/2 tsp+ crushed red pepper flake
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 5-6 medium potatoes sliced thinly
  • 32 oz. chicken stock
  • 4 cups of water
  • 2-3 slices of bacon cooked and chopped
  • 1 lb. Italian sausage
  • 1/2 bunch of kale ribbed and shredded
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Heat butter and olive oil in a large soup pot.

  2. Saute onion, garlic, crushed red pepper flake over medium heat until onions are translucent.
  3. Add chicken stock, water, bacon, and potatoes. Bring to boil and cook until potatoes are tender.

  4. Brown sausage while the potatoes are cooking. Drain the fat before adding to the soup.

  5. During the last ten minutes of cooking, add the kale and cook until wilted but still bright green.

  6. Remove soup from heat and stir in the heavy cream just before serving.
 

If you have not tried this yet, RUN! to the store and get the ingredients to make it. I love how easy it is to cook, and it is so good to eat when you have a cold.

    I tried commenting today on your chicken casserole post. But for some weird reason, there was no comment box there. I checked that post with Snickers, and the same problem there too. Any idea why?
    • Sarah says

      January 22, 2014 at 11:16 am

      Ohh! Try now. It was set up to close comments after 60 days. I think it is fixed now.

    This looks delicious! I am (mostly) vegetarian though so I would have to swap the meat out for something else, but I love a good soup with kale.
    • Sarah says

      January 7, 2014 at 4:03 pm

      Oh yea. It would definitely still be good without the sausage. I was thinking of making it next time without it.
  39. Anna says

We saw a third eye doctor. We are going to try glasses for two months and also try to prevent her from closing or covering her left eye. Along with having her focus on something brought to her nose throughout the day. Then recheck. She did mention alternate patching. Even though they see it in both eyes it is more prominent in her left eye. If neither one is helping then we will do surgery.

20|365 Annelyn did amazing at the allergist today. 20|365 Annelyn did amazing at the allergist today. I felt so bad when they were poking her back. I shared a photo in my stories of her back. They tested for dairy, eggs, green beans and pork. She previously had a reaction to green beans and bacon so they wanted to check that. The dairy and egg still had a reaction, but the doctor feels it is small enough that we can start trying eggs and dairy in small portions. Her egg reaction is a little less than dairy so we are going to try that first. 

I let her pick out a toy and she picked this baby yoda.

14|365 Sweet girl. Little update we are going for 14|365 Sweet girl. Little update we are going for a 3rd opinion next week at an office that offers vision therapy. I am going to see if they think therapy and/or glasses would help. I’m hoping that it will be an option since she is able to control it when we get her to focus. We will see. 

Thanks for all the advice and sharing your experiences. I know every child and diagnosis is different but it is nice to hear what others have done.
