Creamy Tuscan Soup

Make It Vegetarian

Skip the sausage and use an extra can of beans instead. Add some Italian seasoning and extra smoked paprika to keep all that gorgeous flavor. Trust me it’s just as delicious.

What To Serve With It

Nothing beats dunking warm garlic bread into this soup. A simple green salad on the side makes it feel just like you’re at Olive Garden but even better because you made it yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why temper the half and half?

Tempering prevents the cream from curdling when added to hot soup. Heat it gently until bubbles form at edges before adding.

Can I use spinach instead of kale?

Yes, spinach works well. Add it at the very end as it wilts much faster than kale.

How spicy is this soup?

The spice level depends on your sausage choice. Use mild Italian sausage for less heat, hot for more kick.

Can I make this ahead?

Yes, but the potatoes may soften more. Reheat gently to prevent cream from separating.

Can I freeze this soup?

Cream-based soups don’t freeze well as they can separate. Best enjoyed fresh or within 3-4 days when refrigerated.
