Easy One Pot Zuppa Toscana (better than Olive Garden!) | The Recipe Rebel

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Italian sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Turkey sausage offers lower fat content while still providing flavor.

kale

🥗Healthier: spinach

💰Cheaper: cabbage

Spinach is more tender and widely available.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor without dairy.

In a large dutch oven or soup pot, brown the Italian sausage with the onion over medium-high heat (4-5 minutes). If there is a lot of fat in the pan you can drain it or soak it up with paper towel.

Add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and pepper flakes and cook 1 minute.

Add broth and potatoes. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low, cover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender (about 10-12 minutes).

Once potatoes are tender, stir in kale, cream, and Parmesan. Let heat through before serving.
