For a healthier take on a classic Italian recipe, try this Tuscan-style sausage and kale soup. This easy, one-pot recipe bursts with flavor but is lightened up and dairy free, incorporating coconut milk instead of the customary heavy cream. Lacinato kale, which has a long history in Italian cuisine, becomes softer and sweeter in the coconut milk and chicken stock broth, and it’s the perfect accompaniment to the mild sausage. It’s a creamy, hearty and comforting soup perfect for cooler temps!
