Quick n Easy Zuppa Toscana Soup
Enhancers of Flavour: In this dish, the flavours of the mustard powder, spicy sauce, and soy sauce are accentuated rather than overtly tasted. This soup isn’t spicy or hot because of the hot sauce. Usually, I use hot sauce made by Frank.
Sausage: If you’re not into spice, mild Italian sausage will do in Zuppa Toscana, but hot Italian is the traditional choice. Jimmy Dean Original Pork Sausage is my particular favourite.
Instead of cooking the sausage on medium-high heat, this recipe cooks it over medium heat, which makes it extra juicy and provides enough drippings to produce a flavorful roux.
Cheese Garnish: I enjoy adding freshly grated Belgioioso Parmesan cheese to portions of this soup.
Slow Cooker Method:
- Please take note that this method does not call for the use of flour.
- As directed by the hob method, complete steps 1 and 2. With the exception of the potatoes, kale, and heavy cream, transfer everything to the Crock Pot.
- Cook for 3–4 hours on HIGH or 5–6 hours on LOW.
