Tuscan Sausage Soup

#26 in my '100 30 Minute Meals' series is this one pot Tuscan Sausage Soup. Made with savory Italian Sausage, ample butter, onion & garlic, potatoes, roasted red peppers, and kale in a creamy pesto broth.

Why You'll Love this Tuscan Sausage Soup:

• It comes together in just 30 minutes! From start to finish, this recipe comes together in a snap.
• It's made in one pot. Just a chopping board, a measuring cup, and one large pot is all you need.
• Savory, Italian flavors. Roasted red pepper, white wine, grated Parmesan cheese, browned Italian sausage, and a hint of pesto all combine in this soup for a balanced, savory dish.

Key Ingredients:

• Italian Sausage: Ground Italian sausage is cooked until browned and crumbled to give this soup a savory protein.
• Baby Gold Potatoes: No need to peel, just chop into quarters and simmer.
• Broth & Heavy Cream: Create the creamy broth.
• Veggies: Onions, garlic, roasted red peppers (jarred), and kale give this soup texture, nutrition, and a pop of color.
• Flavor Additions: Grated Parmesan & a dollop of pesto for herby, cheesy, garlicky flavor.

Dietary Swaps:

• Gluten-free: This siup is naturally gluten-free, just ensure all store-bought ingredients (especially broth, sausage, and pesto) are labeled as such.
• Vegetarian: Swap sausage for a plant-based version such as Impossible Foods Ground 'Sausage". Additionally, swap broth and Parmesan for vegetarian-safe, plant-based versions.

Recipe Variations:

• Extra Veggies: Add mushrooms, diced zucchini, or extra of any of your favorites veggies to the soup.
• Swap the Sausage, for ground chicken, ground turkey, ground beef, or a plant-based version.

Tips & Recipe Notes:

• Remove sausage from pan after it is cooked. This helps drain any extra fat and keeps it from becoming rubbery while the potatoes cook.
• Keep potatoes covered with broth as they simmer. Add a splash or two as they simmer to keep them just covered as they simmer.

Storage & Reheating:

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat on the stove top over medium-low heat, stirring often, until warmed through.
