Follow these simple steps to create your amazing bowl of Zuppa Toscana:

1. Cook the Sausage: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.

2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

3. Add Broth and Potatoes: Pour in the chicken broth and add the sliced potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

4. Incorporate Greens: Stir in the chopped kale and let it wilt for about 2-3 minutes.

5. Creamy Touch: Add the heavy cream to the pot. Stir well, ensuring everything is combined. Season with crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste. Let the soup heat through for an additional 5 minutes.

6. Serve the Soup: Ladle the Zuppa Toscana into bowls. For an extra touch, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
