    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       03/26/2019   This is by far my favorite Toscana soup recipe to make because it is so easy and is so flavorful. Using the blender to make the soup creamy with out using dairy is genius. The only thing I changed is that I used hot Italian sausage (because that's what my friends and family like).  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       09/23/2018   I really liked this receipt I didn't follow it exactly used less potatoes . My chicken sausage party as hot to begin with so the soup turned out very hot which I pik d  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       01/25/2018   Easy to make and my family ate every bite! I wanted to have it again for lunch.....it was gone!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       01/23/2018   This is my second time making it and it’s much better!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/28/2017   It was delicious and so easy to make  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/09/2017   Easy, simple recipe! So I used white potatoes, added another 14oz. of chicken broth and added a bit of pink salt and chreole (i use this in everything almost!), and it turned out amazing! Yummy!!! I probably used more than the recommended amount of kale, too. I do not have a good blennder, so I skipped that step. My kids loved the soup. I will definitely make this hearty, delicious soup again!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/28/2015   I just made this soup about an hour ago and it was grand. Blending half of the soup adds a creamy, starchy flavor with a textured consistency, and the smoked sausage makes it hearty. What a great way to serve kale. Simple, very easy to make, hard to mess up, and quite filling. Mahalo (Hawaiian for thank you).  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/19/2015   Made it tonight...too spicy for 8 year old...but used kale which I had growing (and had no idea what it was...supposed to be Savoy cabbage but never formed a head). Even hubby loved it!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/05/2013   This is a great recipe! I used turkey keilbasa, and added white beans and mushrooms ( sauteed with the onions and garlic) , fantastic! One of my favorites now.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/24/2013   Love this recipe! Easy and delicious plus my 7, 9, and 11 year olds love it too! Their home from school today with a cold and found this recipe doing a search kale soup. I made a vegetarian version using 32 ounces of vegetable broth in place of the chicken and 4 cloves of garlic, and added thyme, oregano, more red pepper flakes, carrots, a dash of sea salt...yum, yum, and YUM! Will do it next time with celery.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/16/2013   I tried this recipe and it turned out very good. I left out the potatoes and the result was what I was looking for, something light with healthy benefits for myself. I will make it again.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/12/2013   I'm kindof obsessed with this recipe. I like to add carrots & celery to mine, as well as a bay leaf and black pepper. Great for winter and cold season - very healthy and hearty! I'm in college, so I like to make a batch every so often and have leftovers for the week. Yum!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/08/2012   I loved this soup. I made a few slight adjustments. I added one more can of broth, a bayleaf and two cans of cannelinni beans. Hmmm Ummm good.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/14/2012   Made this as written and it was fantastic! Perfect on a cold day - easy, flavorful and quick!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/25/2011   Never able to do the recipe exactly as written--I used sweet Italian sausage because that was what I had. Crumbled sausage, and the recipe was spectacular. The second time I used more kale and it was even better

Never thought I could get the kids to eat kale, but they ask for this soup all the time. I always use one sweet potato, which makes the soup a nice color and adds great flavor. Also I slice the chicken sausage and brown it before adding to the soup. Yum!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/04/2011   This is just like Caldo Verde, a Portuguese soup served frequently in Brazil. I made this soup and my Brazilian boyfriend was so excited that I made his favorite soup unknowingly! I used a spicy sausage available here in Louisiana to give it an extra kick. In Brazil, they serve it with a scoop of rice like gumbo. Delicious!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/26/2011   Very delicious soup! However, blender was broken so we didn't get to puree half the soup. Also, at the end we added one cup of water with one bullion cube because a lot of the broth evaporated. Once the bullion cube dissolved, we added a touch of heavy cream which helps blend the flavors together. And of course, we couldn't forget to top it off with freshly grated romano cheese.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       09/01/2011   I love this soup, so easy to throw together, delicious and satisfying, crusty bread and red wine make it a great easy cold evening supper!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       07/13/2011   Delicious, easy, quick, low fat, loaded with fiber and good for you! I usually add cannellini beans or garbanzo or use any greens that I might happen to have: Swiss chard, spinach, or beet greens. I sometimes use a nice spicy/smoky andouille or Spanish (not Mexican) chorizo. This is a type of Spanish Caldo Gallego and adapts well to many variations.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       03/11/2011   Made this with Imagine Veg Broth and Lightlife Gimme Lean Vegan sausage and it turned out great! My husband and I both loved it and it will definitely be added to my frequent recipes list! Yum :)

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/03/2010   I used veggie broth, russet potatoes and red onion, and forgot the red pepper flakes. Very yummy.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/12/2010   I love this soup, I make it South Beach Diet compliant by using cannellini beans instead of potatoes. Very very good.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/23/2009   This soup was very easy and pretty good. I will definitely make it again. I wasn't sure which potatoes were considered "waxy," so I just got regular russet potatoes and they worked fine.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/11/2009   I agree this soup is delicious and easy. I changed it to a vegetarian version by using vegetable stock and vegetarian Italian sausages (field roast brand found at whole foods). It was perfect and It will be made again!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/01/2008   This is one of the easiest, most de-lish soups I have ever made. Very hearty and satisfying. I added a little extra red pepper flakes and it gave it that perfect kick!
