The BEST Zuppa Toscana Recipe (An Olive Garden Soup Knockoff) |
Author: Anna
- 1 pound Italian Sausage (you can use mild or hot Italian sausage depending on your desired taste.)
- 2 cans {16oz) Chicken Broth (I use whisk bliss {a universal cooking base} mixed with water and chicken bouillon to create my chicken broth base.)
- 1 quart Water
- 1 large Onion (I prefer to use a Walla Walla sweet onion. The taste is amazing!)
- 4 medium Red Potatoes, ¼ inch pieces.
- 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1⁄4 cup Bacon, cut into little pieces (We purchase a bag of pre-cut fresh bacon bits from Costco.)
- 2 cups Kale, chopped
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- Brown sausage, drain grease, and set aside.
- Add chicken broth and water into pot and stir.
- Place chopped onions, potatoes, and mined garlic into pot. Cook until potatoes are soft.
- Add sausage and bacon to soup.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer soup for 10-15 minutes to enhance flavors.
- Turn stove or crockpot down to low heat.
- Add chopped kale and heavy whipping cream into soup.
- Cook soup until kale is cooked thoroughly.
- Serve with warm bread sticks or biscuits. Enjoy!
