Zuppa Toscana has been a favorite of ours for over 30 years! I love the depth of flavor this soup brings to the table. Sausage, creamy red potatoes, kale with spices and a creamy broth! There's a secret ingredient in mine. Trust me on this one! I know your family will love this cozy bowl full as much as mine!
