Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Zuppa Toscana Soup.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 300°F (150°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, lay the sausage links on a baking sheet and let them bake for about 25 minutes, or until they’re perfectly cooked through.
Step 3
Once they’re done, take them out and slice each sausage in half lengthwise, then cut them into delightful 1/2-inch angled pieces.
Step 4
Next, grab a large saucepan and set it over medium heat.
Step 5
Toss in the chopped onions and crispy bacon, cooking them together until the bacon is golden and the onions are soft and fragrant.
Step 6
Once they’re just right, remove the bacon, crumble it up, and set it aside for later.
Step 7
Now, add minced garlic to the saucepan and let it cook for about a minute, just until it fills your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.
Step 8
Stir in some chicken bouillon powder, water, and those lovely sliced potatoes.
Step 9
Allow this mixture to simmer gently for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and ready to soak up all those delicious flavors.
Step 10
It’s time to bring everything together! Add the crumbled bacon, sliced sausage, vibrant shredded kale, and a splash of heavy whipping cream to the pot.
Step 11
Let it all simmer for another 4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 12
When it’s ready, serve it hot and enjoy a comforting bowl of goodness that’s sure to warm your heart!.
