My boyfriend loves this Tuscan sausage soup recipe and even prefers it to the Tuscan soup at a well-known restaurant! I adapted this from a diabetic-friendly recipe. If you want to make it that way, substitute sweet potato for the yellow potato.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
- 1 pinch ground black pepper, or to taste
- 1 pound bulk hot Italian sausage, removed from casings and crumbled
- ½ teaspoon chopped fresh basil
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (Optional)
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 4 cups chopped kale
- 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup peeled and chopped yellow potatoes, or more to taste
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium heat until the oil shimmers; cook and stir onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper until onion is translucent, 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 2
Mix sausage, basil, and paprika together in a bowl.
Step 3
Stir sausage mixture into onion mixture; cook and stir until sausage is browned and fully cooked, 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 4
Add chicken broth, kale, cannellini beans, and potatoes to sausage-onion mixture; lower heat to medium-low. Cover stockpot and simmer until potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Tips
To speed up cooking time, I usually steam the potatoes while I'm heating the oil and cooking the sausage. That way, I only have to heat the soup for 10 more minutes once I mix in the potatoes with everything else. But if you have the patience it's worth it to cook the potatoes the slow way. Also, I love spices so I usually toss in a bit of cumin to cook with the onion and garlic.
