Sometimes your favorite comfort foods tend to be a bit on the rich side, especially soups like Zuppa Toscana. This hearty and creamy soup is the lightened-up version without sacrificing the creamy flavor you love.
The recipe keeps the healthy fats like heavy cream and delicious Italian sausage and simply substitutes the potatoes with a starch stand-in, hearts of palm. While hearts of palm have been around a long time, it has just been in the last five years that they have taken the world by storm as a healthy swap for starchier veggies and pasta.
Whole hearts of palm can be found in the canned vegetable section of most grocery stores near the canned asparagus and mushrooms. Alone, they even make a great snack. Paired with your favorite soup or chowder, they are a great substitute for potatoes or pasta. Getting your vegetables never tasted so good and so comforting.
