Dairy Free Zuppa Toscana
I’ve made this Dairy Free Zuppa Toscana as true to its roots as possible, using pancetta, Italian sausage, cannellini beans, tender potatoes, and kale. It’s hearty, satisfying, and so full of flavor you won’t even miss the heavy cream. This version brings the soul of Tuscany to your table while still keeping it weeknight-friendly.
