Treat your ingredients with care...
- Italian sausages — If you prefer a milder flavor, you can use sweet Italian sausages instead of spicy ones.
- Cannellini beans — If you don't have cooked cannellini beans, you can use canned beans. Rinse them thoroughly before adding to the soup to remove excess sodium.
Tips & Tricks
- For a vegetarian version, omit the Italian sausages and add extra vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
- To make the soup even creamier, blend a portion of it using an immersion blender before serving.
- Serve the Sbroscia with crusty bread on the side for a complete meal.
Serving advice
Serve the Sbroscia alla Toscana in warm bowls, drizzled with a little extra virgin olive oil and topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Accompany it with a side of crusty bread for a satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
Garnish the soup with a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme to add a touch of elegance. Serve it in rustic ceramic bowls to enhance the traditional Tuscan feel.
