zuppa toscana
Italian sausage soup
Zuppa toscana is an Italian soup originating from Tuscany, featuring Italian sausage, potatoes, kale or other greens, and a creamy broth.
The name translates to "Tuscan soup." It gained widespread American popularity through the Olive Garden restaurant chain, where it became a signature menu item.
Home cooks frequently replicate the restaurant version, which tends to be richer and creamier than traditional Tuscan preparations.
