TUSCAN FALL SOUP

This one is a rendition of the Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana, but I think I like this even more!! It’s the perfect soup to cozy up with this Fall & Winter.

Ingredients:

•   1 yellow onion (chopped)

•   1 tbsp minced garlic

•   1 lb ground Italian sausage

• (2) cartons of chicken broth (I used chicken bone broth which has even more nutrients)

•   6oz tomato paste

•   1-2 tbsp Italian seasoning (I like a lot) *you can also use fresh chopped sage + rosemary but I like easy so I just used all Italian seasoning*

•   sprinkle of crushed black pepper

•   (2) large sweet potatoes, cubed

•   (1) bag of fresh chopped kale

•   (1/2) box of small pasta- lused ditalini

⁃ 1/3 cup half&half (more if you want it creamier)

Directions:

•   Sauté onions + garlic until fragrant

•   add in sausage and cook through

•   Add chicken broth, Italian seasoning, black pepper, tomato paste & sweet potato chunks

•   Simmer until the potatoes are cooked, or longer

•   In the last 30 minutes, add kale, pasta & half and half

⁃ Top with grated parmesan

This one is sooo tasty! My husband went back for thirds! 😄 I hope you enjoy too!
