INGREDIENTS
1 lb ground Italian sausage
1½ tsp crushed red peppers
1 large diced white onion
4 Tbsp bacon pieces
2 tsp garlic puree
10 cups water
5 cubes of chicken bouillon
1 cup heavy cream
1 lb sliced Russet potatoes, or about 3 large potatoes
¼ of a bunch of kale

1. Sauté Italian sausage and crushed red pepper ...[text shortened]... ughly heated.

6.Stir in the sausage and the kale, let all heat through and serve. Delicious!
The Zuppa Toscana I've had also has a tomato paste/sauce base. I notice this doesn't have any tomato product in it. I might have to try it this way.

For my tastes I'd use less stock and more cream. I've made a tomato based soup similar, but it had proshutto and greenbeans instead of sausage and kale.

Also, 'kale' - is it cabbage?
Kale is a leafy plant thing, somewhat like spinach, but more cabbage like in aroma.

It is, in fact, a type of cabbage. But it doesn't look like your typical head - as you say, it's leafy. And curly.

Heavy cream in a soup? That doesn't sound very Tuscan to me. Don't get me wrong, it sounds like a nice soup - but an Alpine one, not Tuscan.

No, she said it's cabbage-like in aroma; I added that this is because it is, in fact, a cabbage, not just cabbage-like. I did not mean to contradict, merely to provide additional information.

No, I said, "Yes, it is a type of cabbage. It's also called borecole, if that helps."

ChessPraxis said, "Kale is a leafy plant thing, somewhat like spinach, but more cabbage like in aroma."

I'm pretty sure CP is a guy.

Is this Hungarian, or perhaps more Austrian or maybe even German?

I was making a pun out of "But it doesn't look like your typical head - as you say, it's leafy. And curly."

Yep I am a guy, or at least what's left of one. 😞

Probably all three. Discovered it in takeaway food vans in Austria and Germany many years ago. Great for tourist breakfast on the hoof ...
Making at home, it needs quite a LOT of paprika to get the right taste.
