Ingredients
- 1 pound lean turkey sausage
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 4 cloves, minced garlic
- 3 medium, sliced thinly russet potatoes
- 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 cup low-fat sour cream
- 3 cups, chopped and stems removed kale leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the lean turkey sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sausage is browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2
Remove the cooked turkey sausage from the pot and set aside on a plate. Leave any rendered juices in the pot for added flavor.
Step 3
In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the sliced potatoes to the pot, followed by the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 5
Return the cooked turkey sausage to the pot. Stir in the chopped kale and let it wilt for 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk and low-fat sour cream until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the soup to create a creamy broth.
Step 7
Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as needed. Let the soup simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Serve hot in bowls and enjoy your healthier Low Fat Zuppa Toscana!
