Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the gluten-free Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
Add the olive oil to the pot, followed by the diced onion. Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the gluten-free chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Add the sliced potatoes to the pot and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Stir the chopped kale into the pot and let it wilt for 2-3 minutes.
Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream. Let the soup simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve the Gluten-Free Zuppa Toscana hot, garnished with additional pepper flakes or a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Enjoy!
