How to Make Gluten-Free Zuppa Toscana

- Drain the fat of the onion/sausage mixture with a colander.
- Add the mixture to a large pot.
- Peel and chop the potatoes, then add the potatoes to the large pot along with the remaining ingredients, minus the kale.
- Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the boil to a simmer and cover the pot for 15 minutes.
- Add the kale to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Tips For The Best Zuppa Toscana
- To keep the kale bright green, you will want to add it at the end of the simmer and cook until just wilted.
- White sweet potatoes, also known as Hannah White Sweet Potatoes, have a sweet nutty flavor that pairs lovely with this soup. If they are difficult to find, you can substitute them for Yukon Potatoes or Red Potatoes.
- The spicy sausage can be challenging to find gluten-free. Just make sure to read the back of the ingredients before purchasing. We used a brand called Cantellasn Hot Italian Sausage, found at our local Safeway.
