Description

Whole30 Zuppa Toscana – a fun spin your classic Zuppa Toscana recipe that is dairy-free and Paleo/Whole30!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, ground
  • 1 pound chorizo, ground
  • 8 strips bacon
  • 34 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, sliced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 russet potatoes, diced
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca flour
  • 32oz chicken broth
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 34 handfuls of roughly chopped kale
  • fresh oregano (optional for garnish)
  • (optional) crushed red peppers

Instructions

  • Cook bacon until crispy. Reserve 2-3 tablespoons of bacon grease. Set aside bacon for later.
  • Bring dutch oven to medium-high heat and swirl with olive oil to coat the bottom.
  • Add Italian sausage and chorizo. Break apart and fully cook. Remove and place on a plate. Set aside.
  • In the same dutch oven, add the reserved bacon grease and bring to medium-high heat.  Scrape any bits off of the bottom of the pan. Add garlic and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute, moving around constantly.
  • Add in onions, carrots, celery and potatoes. Sauté for 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir in tapioca flour and then add Italian sausage and chorizo back in.
  • Slowly add in chicken broth, coconut milk, lemon juice and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Let simmer a few minutes, until potatoes are tender.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning, as desired.
  • Add in chopped kale and stir to combine.
  • Crumble or cut bacon up into bite-sized pieces and add in at the last minute before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh oregano (or basil) and sprinkle in some crushed red pepper, if desired.

Notes

  • Ingredients: just double check your ingredients to make sure the Italian sausage, chorizo, bacon and chicken broth are Whole30 compatible!
  • Servings: this recipe makes quite a bit so this is a great one to make and have for leftovers for lunch for a couple days!
  • Storage: store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
