Zuppa Toscana – A Hearty Tuscan Tradition with Ciabatta (includes complimentary surprise dessert)

Experience the cozy, comforting flavors of Tuscany with this classic Zuppa Toscana, a creamy, rustic soup that has long been a staple of the Italian countryside. Tender baby potatoes, mild Italian sausage, smoky bacon, and garlic come together in a savory broth enriched with cream, while fresh kale provides vibrant color and a wealth of vitamins A, C, and K. Each spoonful offers a balance of hearty and fresh, rich and bright — a bowl that nourishes as much as it comforts.

This version is crafted with homemade bone broth, slowly simmered to draw out natural collagen, amino acids, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. The result is a velvety base that enhances the depth of the soup while supporting joint health, digestion, and overall vitality. Using mostly organic ingredients highlights the true character of each element — from the earthy potatoes to the garden-fresh kale — making this meal as wholesome as it is flavorful.

Paired with the soup is a crisp Ciabatta Bun, its golden crust and airy interior perfect for soaking up the creamy broth. The subtle tang of the bread complements the richness of the soup, adding balance and making every bite complete.

✨ Historical Note: Zuppa Toscana reflects the Italian tradition of cucina povera — “peasant cooking” — a philosophy born out of resourcefulness, where humble, seasonal ingredients were transformed into nourishing, comforting meals. In the Tuscan countryside, families would prepare this soup with local sausage, kale from the garden, and potatoes from the harvest, creating a dish that remains timeless in its simplicity and soul-warming character.
