Ingredients

• 1 pound Gluten-free Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 medium Russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin half-moons
• 6 cups Low-sodium chicken broth (gluten-free)
• 4 cups Kale, stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
• 1 cup Coconut milk (or heavy cream if not dairy-free)
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the gluten-free Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside on a plate.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the pot with the sausage drippings and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced potatoes and chicken broth to the pot. Stir well and bring the soup to a boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 7

Return the cooked sausage to the pot and stir in the chopped kale. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the kale is wilted.

Step 8

Pour in the coconut milk (or heavy cream) and stir to combine. Season the soup with crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with additional crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Enjoy your gluten-free Zuppa Toscana Soup!
