Zuppa Toscana soup:
Growing up it was a special treat to go to the Olive Garden and one of my favorites was their Zuppa Toscana soup. But since I can’t remember the last time I have dined there I figured it was time for me to create my own version at home. And I decided to make mine whole30 compliant, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
Ingredients you will need:
- Red potatoes
- Coconut milk
- Turkey bone broth or any type of broth you have
- Italian turkey sausage or any type of ground meat you have
- Onion
- Minced garlic
- Filtered water
- Primal Palate amore seasoning
- Kale
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to prepare over stove top:
I made this soup over stove top and it was super simple to make. I added my ghee to a pot to warm and then added my onions with salt + pepper and sautéed for a few minutes. Next, I added my Italian sausage, minced garlic, and seasoning to pot, and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). And then I added the turkey bone broth, water, coconut milk, potatoes, and brought to a boil. Then I covered, simmered heat, and cooked for 30 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. And right before serving I added my chopped kale and cooked for a couple minutes.
Instant pot option:
This soup can also be prepared in the instant pot and is nice if you want it done quickly. I set my instant pot to the sauté function and add my ghee to warm. And then I add my chopped onions with salt and pepper and sauté a few minutes. Next, I add the sausage with minced garlic, and seasoning, and cook for 5 minutes. And then I add the turkey bone broth, coconut milk, water, potatoes to pot, cover, seal valve, and set instant pot to high pressure for 4 minutes. I then quick release the pressure once done and add the kale, cover, and let the kale wilt a couple minutes in the soup.
Meal prep option:
This soup makes for the perfect meal prep option. Because it taste even better after sitting a couple days. And the way I like to reheat mine, is by adding it to a small soup pot, and cooking a few minutes on high heat.
