Dairy Free Zuppa Toscana Soup
This healthy, amazingly delicious dairy-free Zuppa Toscana comes together with just 6 real food ingredients and is ready in just 30 minutes! We keep it dairy-free by using canned coconut milk instead of heavy cream or milk. The flavor from the coconut milk adds SO much to the bit of heat from the sausage. It’s a perfect balance. You will want to make a double batch because this better-for-you Zuppa Toscana soup recipe is everything you want to comfort and nourish you!
Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon, cut into bite size pieces
- 1 lb ground italian chicken sausage, (see note)
- 4 medium yukon gold potatoes, diced into bite size pieces
- 2 cups homemade chicken bone broth, (or store bought)
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed and roughly chopped
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- In a large dutch oven or large stock pot over medium-high heat, add the chopped bacon and saute until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate.
- Add the mild Italian sausage into the pot and saute until fully cooked through, breaking up the sausage as it cooks. Remove with a slotted spoon onto a plate.
- Add the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and turn the heat down to low or medium heat to simmer. Boil the potatoes for 15 minutes until the potatoes are soft through the center but still maintain their shape.
- Add the kale and stir for a little bit to begin to wilt the kale. Add the coconut milk, cooked bacon, cooked sausage, sea salt, and pepper. Stir the soup together, taste, and add more sea salt as needed. For an extra kick of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes!

Notes
Ground italian pork sausage is an amazing substitute for the chicken sausage. I’ve made it with both and love them equally! If you use pork, you can omit the bacon (unless you won’t want to – make soup how you love it!)
