Zuppa Toscana
Report
It may not be authentic Italian, but this copycat Zuppa Toscana soup is a version of that restaurant favorite that we all love! Filled with the bold flavors of sausage and bacon, you’ll want this version way more than the restaurant version.

Ingredients
- 1 lb mild Italian sausage
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (cut this back if you want it less spicy)
- 1/2 lb Bacon cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 large onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 lb potatoes peeled and diced
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3-4 cups kale chopped
Instructions
- Place a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and red pepper flakes and cook, breaking the sausage up as it cooks. Cook until browned and no longer pink, then remove to a bowl or plate.
- Add the bacon to the pot and cook until crisp, about 7-8 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and add to the sausage. Drain all but about 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
- To the remaining bacon grease, add the onion and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook another 30-60 seconds, until the garlic is fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Add the potatoes, and boil until fork tender, about 20 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are tender, reduce the heat and add the sausage and bacon back into the pan. Stir in the heavy cream. Add the kale and stir to combine.
- Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the kale has softened a bit.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve warm.
Notes
- Spinach can be substituted for the kale, if desired.
