Easy Zuppa Toscana

  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • 1 pound ground hot Italian sausage
  • 1 small white onion, peeled and diced
  • 4 cups good-quality chicken stock
  • 1 (12-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and diced
  • 1 bunch kale, roughly chopped (and stems removed, if desired)
  • 1 pound potato gnocchi
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • salt and pepper
  • optional toppings: freshly shaved or grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon

 Directions

Add Italian sausage and diced onion to the large stockpot. Cook over medium-high heat until the sausage is completely browned, stirring occasionally and breaking up the sausage with a spoon. Drain out as much of the excess grease as possible.

Then add in the chicken stock and diced roasted red peppers, and bring the mixture to a simmer (still over medium-high heat). Once it reaches a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low and add the kale and gnocchi and stir to combine. Continue cooking for 5 minutes, or until the gnocchi are cooked through and tender. Stir in the heavy cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (I used about 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper.)

Serve warm with desired toppings.

You can also refrigerate this in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
