Reviews
Made this soup for a potluck and everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. In my opinion, it is just as delicious as the Italian restaurant that serves it.
Easy and delicious
I double the heavy whipping cream and keep everything else the same, love it!
easy, and great
Great soup. I made it vegan by subbing out Italian sausages with Field Roast Italian Garlic & Fennel sausages. Took out the garlic but kept the onion. Instead of chicken broth used water with adobo seasoning and used County Crock Plant based whipping cream. Absolutely delicious!!
It turned out absolutely wonderful. All of my family loved it. I have made it several times and it is better every time.
So delicious, time-consuming but worth it and easy!!!
Excellent! Delicious and easy/quick to make. Satisfying meal. I reduced garlic to 1 teaspoon as my husband isn’t a big fan. A new go-to favorite.
I added 1/4C parmesan cheese before serving. Delicious!
Really good base soup to just add some ingredients for enhancement and be done quickly. So the intention is still achievable but I personally had to work this recipe to get enough flavor.
Def would make this again. Add more red pepper flakes if you like any spice at all – I couldn’t taste them and I’m a wimp. Also add salt & pepper for flavor. One note, if you are slicing the potatoes as directed and you don’t peel them, the skin boils off into what looks like noodles. It’s weird. I might chop the potatoes into chunks next time. But overall this is delicious and I will savor every bite and then make it again!
I subbed sweet potatoes for regular and a can of coconut milk for the cream. Added 2 TBSP of curry and yum! Thai twist on an Italian classic. Also dairy-free!
My husband and I love this! It is our go to meal when we are unsure of what to eat and easy to make. I have changed out the fresh kale for frozen, I also use a whole package of bacon.
Loved this! I didn’t have the whipping cream so I used evaporated milk instead. The whole family enjoyed this soup and I will definitely be making this again.
This recipe was really good. The only thing I would mention is that the recipe calls for a dutch oven but does not say what size. This recipe makes a lot of soup and my dutch oven ended up being too small so I had to switch to a larger pot. It didn’t hurt the soup but heads up to whoever else tries this. This was tasty enough to make me shop for a larger dutch oven.
Delicious! A new favorite.
I used 2 cups of kale that I food chopped up into Very small pieces . Other than that I added the whipped cream into the individual bowls then freeze the leftovers. Great soup 5 stars.
I followed the recipe (eventually). I forgot to pour in the heavy cream after I tasted about a half a cup worth. It was delicious without the cream but I went ahead and added it. I grow dinosaur kale in the backyard and so I’ve always used kale in Zuppa Toscano soup anyway and I’m not a spinach fan. I used mini yellow potatoes I sliced thinly. this is an excellent recipe. Thank you very much for sharing.
Love this soup! Have made it a few times, started substituting gnocchi for the potatoes. Turned great into amazing, in my opinion. Thanks for the recipe,
This recipe is Delicious!!! I had a couple bowls & if I could have more I would. The Family Loved It. Will definitely be making this over and over again.
So I don’t own a Dutch oven however you can use skillets and a pot. It really was super easy. It’s delicious. I did cheat a little. I bought precut bacon just to save time. I used all fresh veggies and store bought organic chicken broth.
