Tuscany is home to many cozy and delicious Zuppe, soups, like this hearty vegetable and sausage comfort food. I love to add a handful of kale or spinach for extra nutrients and color, except my husband does not eat healthy greens, so this batch has none. Don’t forget to add a large dose of grated Parm or Pecorino and pair this soup with a robust Sangiovese from Val d’Orcia. I recommend Poggio Grande Piano.

To make this vegan friendly, substitute the Italian Sausage with a plant-based option, I like Beyond Meat’s Spicy Italian Sausage.
