Spicy Tuscan Soup

Pin It

Our church celebrated the Super Bowl last night by having a Souper Bowl party in our Gathering Space. I made this recipe that I got from my niece along with my Cream of Potato recipe that I got from a friend.. They were both a hit.

This is such a delicious and easy soup to make. Be sure to use spicy breakfast sausage and not spicy Italian sausage, it definitely makes a difference. I made this same recipe using Italian sausage and regular potatoes instead of red potatoes, and it just wasn't as good.

Ingredients

• 1 pound Spicy Breakfast Sausage (I use Jimmy Dean's Hot)
• 1 whole Medium Red Onion, Diced
• 3 slices Bacon, Diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, Minced
• 3 whole Medium Potatoes (I use 6 small red potatoes)
• 5 cups Warm Water
• 5 cubes or 5 tsp.of Chicken Bouillon (I use Better Than Bullion brand)
• ¼ bunches Kale, Roughly Chopped
• ½ cups Heavy Cream
• Salt And Pepper, to taste

Directions

Crumble sausage into a Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat until cooked through. Drain off the grease and set the sausage aside.
Add bacon into the Dutch oven and cook until almost crispy, then add onions. Cook until onions are clear. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Cut potatoes into edible sized cubes. Add warm water, bouillon, and potatoes to the Dutch oven and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until potatoes are almost done.
Add remaining ingredients as well as the sausage and simmer for 5 more minutes. Serve with warm garlic breadsticks.
