Zuppa Toscano

January 3, 2018

  • 127

Soup is the all-time healer, comforter, filler upper and all-around best choice for delicious dinner time.   

 

There isn’t much you need to add to serving up a big bowl of this soup to complete it.

You can eat it on its own, or add some breadsticks or a salad if you prefer.

I’ve been making this soup for years. Everyone loves it no matter what the weather… hot or cold.

This is one soup we really do enjoy in the warmer months. I know some only enjoy soup in the cold months, but not me I’m a soup girl all year long!

If you’ve ever been to the Olive Garden and had their Zuppa Toscano, and thought it was delicious. You will LOVE this.

This recipe is super easy, delicious and ready in under 30 minutes.

Which makes it one of my go-to recipes.

 

This is the type of soup you can eat bowl after bowl of.

You can make this soup as spicy as you’d like, I use hot sausage and add some crushed red pepper often if I want to spice it up a little more. Sometimes hot sausage is nice and spicy and sometimes, I think it needs to be even spicier. The best part about spicy foods is you can add a little more at a time to your liking. My family likes it spicy. If yours does too, then when the soup is done cooking taste it, and add a pinch of crushed red pepper and then taste again and add more if you’d like.

The recipe serves 4 people generously. It can easily be doubled if you’d like to have LOTS of leftovers. If you don’t prefer kale you can use spinach.

    I love this soup – my husband makes his version minus the milk and instead of potatoes he uses barley. Spicy sausages of course

    I’m going to ask Chris to make it and substitute vegan sausage for the meat. Looks amazing, I can’t wait to try it!

    I’m gonna ask my wife to make it. I love soup for dinner when it’s full of this much flavor.
