Toscano Soup

By: Georgia Harding

This rich, warming and soul-soothing soup is the kind of bowl you cradle with both hands on a chilly day. It’s a hearty Tuscan classic that practically makes itself. Brown some sausage, toss in kale, carrots and stock, then let it simmer until the house smells like an Italian nonna’s kitchen.
