This Copycat Zuppa Toscana Soup is perfect for an easy dinner or weeknight dinner. It’s a creamy Italian soup loaded with sausage and kale, making it a hearty and comforting family dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 pieces bacon chopped
  • 1 pound spicy ground Italian sausage
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 ½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 6 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 4 cups roughly chopped kale
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the chopped bacon in a large pot over medium heat until it’s nicely browned, about 5 minutes. Drain most of the bacon fat, leaving about a tablespoon in the pot.
  2. Stir in the diced onions and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes over medium high heat until they soften. Then add the minced garlic and cook it for another 30 seconds.
  3. Add the spicy ground Italian sausage to the pot and cook, breaking it apart, until it’s fully browned, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the cut Yukon Gold potatoes, sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, and add the low sodium chicken broth. Bring this mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to medium low and let it simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, or until potatoes become tender.
  5. Mix in the chopped kale, cooked bacon, and heavy whipping cream. Allow everything to simmer together for 5 more minutes.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle ground black pepper over the top before serving.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in the fridge for 4 to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months
  • Approximately 4 cups of roughly chopped kale comes from 4 to 5 large stems or about half a bunch
