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.

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!
