Zuppa Toscana – Sausage, Potato, Kale & White Bean Tuscan Soup Recipe

Zuppa Toscana – Sausage, Potato, Kale & White Bean Tuscan Soup Recipe

This pressure canning recipe for Zuppa Toscana is a flavorful, substantial soup that combines Italian sausage, potatoes, white beans and greens to make a delicious, pantry-ready meal. This recipe was developed using the guidelines in FNH-00065, "Canning Soups and Sauces", a bulletin released by the University of Alaska, Fairbanks Cooperative Extension, which permits using diced celery and onion in make-your-own brothy soup recipes, even though those two ingredients do not have listed individual processing times per the USDA Choice Soup canning guidelines. It has not been individually lab-tested but was written in accordance with these safe-canning guidelines. You can also skip the pressure canning steps, simmer the soup until done, and serve or freeze right away!
