We love our soup meals. From our jambalaya soup, zuppa toscana, fasolada, loaded cauliflower soup and so many more, we’re always on the lookout for a big potful of soup. This Tuscan soup is one of our new favorites. It’s one recipe you don’t want to miss… Soup season is upon us. As the temperatures start to dip, we’re all looking for something warm and comforting to eat. This soup needs to find its way into your regular rotation. It’s that good.
Why you’ll love this Creamy Tuscan Soup
Ingredients
Sausage – The star. We used hot Italian sausage, but we like things a bit spicy. You can use mild if you prefer. Pork breakfast sausage would also go great here.Kale – For that great veggie power.Sun dried tomatoes – We recommend the jarred variety, drained. OnionChicken stock and cream – For that great broth.Seasonings – Thyme, oregano, crushed red chilis, salt and pepper.Garnishings – Fresh parsley and freshly shredded parmesan cheese.
How to make this Creamy Tuscan Soup
As mentioned above, this works great on stove top or in a crock pot or instant pot. Detailed instructions for each method are in the recipe card, but the basic steps are the same. Saute the onions for a few minutes until they start to turn translucent. Add in the garlic and give it a quick stir. Add sausage, casings removed, and break into chunks with a spoon. Cook for about five minutes, till it gets browned up. Pour in the chicken stock and stir in the sun dried tomatoes and seasonings. Then, let it all cook for a bit so the flavors mingle together. When you’re about ready to enjoy your bowl, add in the kale for a few minutes, until it wilts. Stir in the cream, get the soup nice and hot, and you’re all ready to serve! Garnish with some chopped fresh parsley and shredded parmesan cheese. Check out our collection of favorite Soup Recipes!

How to store leftovers
As with any soup, this is great as leftovers. Somehow the flavors just seem to get accentuated when it rests. It refrigerated well for 3-4 days in an airtight container. Just reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave. As cream doesn’t freeze well, if you are looking to freeze some, separate it out before adding the cream. It can freeze nicely up to two months in an airtight container. Thaw it overnight in the fridge, then add the cream when you reheat it.
