I often make variations of Zuppa Toscana based on what I have on hand.
It’s one of the quickest and easiest soups to make.
I always have the three main ingredients on hand:
- Potatoes
- Greens
- Sausage
I often saute breakfast sausage and/or bacon with chopped onions.
I add potatoes, either chopped and parboiled, or leftovers.
Chicken stock is almost always in my freezer.
I quarter the potatoes for pretty.
Last, I toss in some chopped greens to wilt and salt and pepper for the finishing touch.
Bon appetit!
