Print Recipe

A comforting, clean-eating twist on the classic Zuppa Toscana soup, packed with veggies, creamy broth, and bold flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground Italian sausage (nitrate-free or turkey sausage)
  • 1 yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 4 russet potatoes, peeled and diced into bite-sized chunks
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 cups kale, chopped
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside. Drain any excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pot.
  3. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the potatoes and pour in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until the potatoes are tender, approximately 15 minutes.
  5. Once the potatoes are soft, return the cooked sausage to the pot. Add the chopped kale and stir it in until wilted.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the almond milk. Stir well to combine, and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Give the soup a final stir and serve hot.

Notes

[‘Make the soup a day ahead for deeper flavors.’, ‘Massage the kale with olive oil if it feels tough.’, ‘Adjust spice levels by increasing or omitting red pepper flakes.’, ‘Use fresh garlic for better flavor.’]
