Ingredients

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of preparing your new favorite soup, let’s gather the key players:

4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups kale, chopped (because we’re all about that green!)
1 cup diced potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste

No frills here—just simple, wholesome ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. Could cooking get any easier?

Steps to Make Your Creamy Parmesan Tuscano Soup

Sauté Your Aromatics: In a large pot, heat that lovely olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and your kitchen starts smelling like a charming Italian restaurant (about 3–5 minutes).
Add Potatoes and Broth: Toss in the diced potatoes, followed by the chicken broth. Bring your mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for about 10–15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Creamy Goodness: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Keep stirring until the cheese melts and blends beautifully with the soup. Yes, you can already taste the magic!
Kale, Don’t Forget the Green: Add the chopped kale and Italian seasoning to the pot. Let the soup simmer for another 5–7 minutes, or until the kale wilts and softens.
Season to Perfection: Give it a taste and season with salt and pepper as you please. You know your palate best—if you like a little kick, throw in some red pepper flakes!

Serve and Enjoy: Ladle your soup into bowls, top with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan, and bask in the glory of your culinary skills.

Cooking Tips

Batch it Up: This soup is perfect for meal prep! Make a big batch over the weekend, and freeze it for quick lunches or dinners throughout the week.
Cheesy Shenanigans: Don’t shy away from experimenting with the cheese! Feel free to mix in some mozzarella or gouda for an extra indulgent soup experience (because who are we kidding? More cheese is always better).

The Power of Substitutions: If you’re dairy-free, you can substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk or a plant-based cream. Just know, it’s a different kind of delicious—but still worth it!
