Creamy Tuscan Soup

This recipe for Creamy Tuscan Soup or Zuppa Toscana is made with kale, Italian sausages, potatoes, and lots of creamy cheese.

Everyone has their variation of Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana and this is our family’s take. We love cheese, so we add it to the soup while it simmers in addition to topping it with even more.

My favorite kitchen tools used to make Creamy Tuscan Soup:

KNIVES: A good set of kitchen knives is essential for preparing any meal. I just recently invested in some Cutco knives and I have not regretted it one bit. These are hands down my favorite knives I have owned.

CUTTING BOARD: For me, this is a kitchen must-have and kitchen counter saver. While we have countertops you can cut on, I find that this extra step will preserve my counter. I also find that using a cutting board makes for less clean up afterward. I love this cutting board because it has a groove all the way around the board prevent juices from running all of the counters.

SAUCEPAN: I am a total snob after having an assortment of pots in our cupboard over the years. After getting some Calphalon pots on sale at my local grocer, I won’t try anything else. They are affordable and durable – a win, win in our home.
