    Skinny Sweet Potato Toscana Soup

    Published: Jan 29, 2021 by Heidi Fowler. This post may contain affiliate links 20 Comments

    If you enjoy Zuppa Tuscana sausage potato soup from Olive Garden, you'll love this lighter version with a sweet potato twist. This is my favorite sausage potato soup recipe.

    This recipe was a happy accident.  I know this never happens to anyone but me (right?), but I started creating my soup without first checking to make sure I had all the ingredients!  (I'm sure you're all much smarter than I am!)  No potatoes.  Hmmm.  No problem.  I used sweet potatoes instead.  My family all agreed that they liked this version better!  The sweet potatoes combined with the spicy sausage were a hit.  My picky kids gobbled up the soup!  Success!

    So, why do I call it skinny soup?  No cream.  No butter.  There's enough flavor that you just don't need it.  (Of course, if you want your soup creamier, go ahead.  Use cream instead of milk.  I won't tell anyone!)  Ready for the recipe?  It's really easy.

     {Skinny} Sweet Potato Toscana Soup

    • 3 cups water*
    • 2  ½ - 3 t  chicken flavor Better than Bouillon*
    • ½ lb Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
    • 1-2 cups peeled and cubed sweet potato (depending on how chunky you like your soup)
    • 1-2 cups chopped kale or Swiss chard (both are yummy, but we like kale the best)
    • ¼ t salt
    • ¼ t crushed red pepper flakes (the sausage will add spice, so you can leave this out if your kiddos like more mild flavors)
    • ½ c milk
    • Parmesan cheese--optional garnish

    *Any chicken broth, stock or bouillon can be used in place of the water and Better than Bouillon.

    Directions:

    Combine water, bouillon, and sweet potatoes in a medium sauce pan.  Cook on high heat until boiling, and then turn the temperature to medium.  Cook until the potatoes are tender.  Add cooked sausage, kale, and spices.  Simmer 5-10 more minutes.  Add milk and heat through.  Serve with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
