Zuppa Toscana
A well known Italian sausage and potato soup with kale or spinach. We prefer kale!www.mostdeliciouslife.com
Equipment
- 1 Large heavy bottomed pot
Ingredients
- 1 pound sausage
- 1 sweet onion
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic 2 cloves
- 2-3 large potatoes, scrubbed clean
- 6 cups chicken broth or stock
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups kale, chopped without stems
- 2 shakes cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Chop the onion, and thinly slice the potatoes. Set aside.
- Lightly spray or use 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large heavy pot. Brown the sausage. Add in the onion and garlic when the sausage is about halfway done.
- Drain if there is tons of grease. I rarely drain, because there is not a ton of grease usually. Pour in the chicken broth, add in the potatoes. Let simmer for about 20 minutes till the potatoes are fork tender, but not falling apart.
- Add in the cream and kale. Let simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Add 1-2 shakes of Cayenne. Taste to see if it needs salt. I never add salt.
