This Tuscan soup can be made in your slow cooker, which automatically elevates it to the “ultimate dinner recipes” category in my book. It also has bacon, which pretty much speaks for itself. And potatoes! And coconut milk! Seriously: you want this soup in your mouth.

I’ve shared this recipe before because it’s just so brilliant. You don’t even need salt to make this work. Not even salt! All you need for this hot Italian sausage and broccoli dinner is…sausage and broccoli. The fats from the sausage help to cook and flavor the broccoli like you wouldn’t believe.
If you like your soups saucy and meaty, this is the one for you. You’ll need plenty of hot Italian sausage, diced onion, bell peppers, tomatoes sauce, chicken stock, white sweet potatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, and salt. Cooks up in your Dutch oven!
