Vegetarian Zuppa Toscana

Vegetarian Zuppa Toscana

This is my vegetarian version of zuppa toscana. I used to enjoy this soup at a popular Italian restaurant, but since I’ve become a vegetarian, I’ve missed eating it. Use almond or soy milk instead of half-and-half to make it vegan.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/3 cup minced onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 (32 fluid ounce) container vegetable broth
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch kale, chopped
  • 12 ounces vegan sausage, cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • teaspoons cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pint half-and-half

Directions

Step 1
Heat oil in a 4-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and saut? until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 2
Add broth and potatoes; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a knife, 10 to 12 minutes. Add kale, sausage, cayenne pepper, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cover, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until 1/2 of the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes.

Step 3
Stir in half-and-half; cover and simmer until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Tips

You can substitute 2 tablespoons dehydrated onion for the fresh onion.
