Slow Cooker Zuppa Toscana Soup
This is my version of Zuppa Toscana Soup. One bowl is a complete meal and so delicious. You can make this soup hot and spicy, as I did, using hot Italian Sausage or whatever Italian Sausage is your favorite to get the amount of heat you want. One batch makes four large soup bowls full.
Ingredients
Add cooked sausage, potatoes, onion
and garlic to a large stock pot. I am using
my Ninja 3 in 1 cooker on the stove top
settings in these pictures.
Add chicken broth and water to
the pot. Cook on medium heat with
a lid until the soup comes to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer and cook
until the potatoes are almost tender.
.
In a small bowl, mix the flour into the
cream and whisk to remove the lumps.
Add the cream mixture, bacon and
the spinach to the pot. Continue cooking
until the soup thickens slightly,
about 10-15 minutes.
