Slow Cooker Tuscan Sausage Soup is a creamy soup full of Italian sausage, potatoes, carrots, and kale. It’s loaded with flavor and makes a rich, hearty soup for cold weather.
How To Serve Slow Cooker Tuscan Sausage Soup
This creamy soup is perfect for a winter meal. Since it is so loaded with veggies and sausage, serve it with some fresh bread and you have a filling meal. A salad with Creamy Italain Dressing is also a great addition.
How To Make
Brown and crumble the sausage and then add the onion and celery so they get a little pre-cooked. Add all the ingredients except the heavy cream and kale to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours.
Recommended Equipment
- Large Nonstick Skillet
- 6-Quart Slow Cooker- I love the Hamilton Beach Portable 6-Quart Set & Forget Digital Programmable Slow Cooker.
Storage
Leftovers will keep for 4 to 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator and can be reheated in the microwave or in a pot on the stove.
Substitutions and Variations
- Spinach can be used instead of kale.
- Add crumbled, cooked bacon for extra flavor.
- Use russett potatoes instead of red potatoes
- Dried Italian seasoning or dried basil can be used instead of oregano.
- Use “Hot” Italian sausage for extra heat. Use “mild” for less heat.
