If I could have soups every day...I wouldn't complain.

This Tuscan Kale Soup is made on the stove in one pot and is ready in under an hour!

A healthy creamy Italian Chicken Sausage soup

A hearty and filling kale recipe.

Naturally gluten-free soup made with quinoa

Loaded with protein form the chicken sausage and fiber from the kale and quinoa.

What's in this soup?

italian chicken sausage, kale, tomatoes, quinoa, and a red bell pepper
  • I used ground Italian chicken sausage but you can definitely substitute ground turkey sausage or regular sausage.
  • I add Greek yogurt in the end for a creamy Italian soup taste but if you want to keep the soup dairy free, you can absolutely leave out the Greek yogurt.

How to make:

quinoa added to sausage soup before broth
After you saute the garlic, onion, and sausage. Pour in the tomatoes, quinoa, and broth.
a large pot of chicken sausage, tomatoes, quinoa and kale
Add kale to the Tuscan soup for the last 10 minutes.

If you're a fan of this soup you should try my: Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup (Instant Pot) or Vegetable Orzo Soup.

    I made the soup early this morning. I can’t tell you how delicious it turned out! I sent the recipe to my sister because I knew it was going to be good! I’m following a low carb program, not keto. This is perfect and it’s so delicious and healthy. Thank you so much for these type of recipes!

    1. You have made my day! I am so glad you enjoy this soup as well! It's such a perfect balanced meal for a low carb lifestyle 🙂

    So after reading about bone broth on this website I wanted an opportunity to use my kettle and Fire bone broth. I thought this soup sounded particularly yummy on a rainy dreary day and I was not disappointed!
    It was easy and filling and sooo good the next day. I really liked that I had nearly all the ingredients in my pantry and I’ve been trying to use less rice and more quinoa!
    This is a great recipe if you are looking for something quick to fix for dinner!! Super easy and super delicious.
