Today, I want to introduce you to Jamie from, Handling With Grace. Jamie is a proud wife to a US sailor and a mother to a super cute little girl. She doesn't pretend to be a Martha Stewart or a Paula Dean. Her tastes are actually pretty simple. While she doesn't eat meat, she eats a lot of cottage cheese, ice cream, pizza, and vegetable soup. She would usually prefer to spend her extra calories on a couple glasses of wine than a delectable treat (especially if it means she has to cook it!) She says she is definitely more of a reluctant chef but has a hungry husband with high expectations!
Her husband is a regular ole meat and potatoes kind of guy who is not big on soup (much to her chagrin). This Zuppa Toscana soup is his only exception!
Zuppa Toscana Soup
2 to 3 large russet potatoes cut in 1/2 inch slices
1 large onion sliced
3 garlic cloves minced
1 package of thickly cut bacon
1 package of Italian sausage
2 cans of chicken broth
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 to 3 handfuls of kale
4 cups of water
salt and pepper
red pepper flakes
Brown the Italian sausage and cook and crumble the bacon. Combine chicken broth, water, garlic, potatoes, and onion in a large stock pot. Cook on medium high. When the potatoes are soft, add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Add the sausage, bacon, cream and the kale and let cook an additional five minutes.
