Best 4 My Kinda Zuppa Toscana Recipes

SUPER-DELICIOUS ZUPPA TOSCANA

Steps:

• Cook the Italian sausage and red pepper flakes in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until crumbly, browned, and no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Cook the bacon in the same Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain, leaving a few tablespoons of drippings with the bacon in the bottom of the Dutch oven. Stir in the onions and garlic; cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the chicken broth into the Dutch oven with the bacon and onion mixture; bring to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes, and boil until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream and the cooked sausage; heat through. Mix the spinach into the soup just before serving.

ZUPPA TOSCANA (TUSCAN SOUP) MY WAY

Steps:

• Break apart and cook sausage over low-medium heat in a stock pot until no longer pink.
• Drain fat, if any.
• Add the garlic and stir for about 30 seconds. (You want the garlic to get nice and not, but not to burn.).
• Add chicken stock, sliced potatoes and chicken base and bring soup to a boil.
• Lower heat to a brisk simmer and cook just until potatoes are starting to get tender.
• Add the sliced bok choy (the pieces that are mostly stems) and continue cooking for about five minutes.
• Add the rest of the bok choy (the pieces that are mostly leafy) and cook for another two to three minutes.
• Add the half and half, stir and continue cooking until the soup begins to steam, but don't let it boil.
• Taste for seasoning and add freshly ground black pepper to taste. (It usually doesn't need salt.).
