Zuppa Toscana Soup (Paleo)

Looking for a hearty and comforting soup that fits your paleo lifestyle? Look no further than our delicious Paleo version of Zuppa Toscana Soup.

Zuppa Toscana soup and it’s origin

Originating in Tuscany, Italy, this soup is made with Tuscan kale, potatoes, Italian sausage, and a rich broth to bring it all together. It also typically includes cream or coconut milk to give the silky texture and subtle notes of onion or garlic depending on personal preference. This classic dish is sure to not only warm your stomach but your soul as well!

Why I substituted traditional ingredients with Paleo-friendly alternatives

We've recreated this comfort food favorite with some simple substitutions. Out goes the full-fat dairy and in comes Nutpods Original Creamer, giving you a rich, creamy texture without all the fat. We also swapped out white potatoes for flavorful celery root which adds an earthy note while still providing the traditional starchy base. Plus, we topped it off with plenty of nutrient-rich kale which gives the soup an extra boost of goodness.

Zuppa Toscana Soup is a comforting, savory delight bursting with flavor. Hearty chunks of potatoes, sausage and bacon simmer in a deliciously creamy broth made from chicken stock and cream. Garlic, onions and kale are added for an extra flavor punch - perfect for filling your belly on a cold winter's night! The texture is akin to heaven - each forkful brings the wonderful combination of the soft potatoes, firm vegetables and of course those tantalising pieces of salty cured pork. There's a reason why this scrumptious soup is a top recipe on food blogs around the world!

The next time you're looking for a cozy comfort food recipe, give this Zuppa Toscana Soup a try - or get creative with the variations. You'll be delighted by its texture and taste, and you can even make healthier changes to fit your dietary preferences. After all, it's about making something delicious and nutritious that you can enjoy! And remember, don't forget the garnish - fresh-chopped parsley never hurts!
