If you love the Zuppa Toscana soup at The Olive Garden then this recipe is for you. It is so tasty you will want to run to the OG to get bread sticks and salad to go with it!
Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 3-4 large russet bakers potatoes (slice in half then 1/4'' slices)
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 lb bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups kale or swiss chard, chopped
- 2 cans chicken broth (3 cups)
- 1 quart water (4 cups)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Cook sausage and drain on a paper towel. Add onions, potatoes, chicken broth, water, and garlic in a pot and cook until potatoes are tender. Add sausage, bacon, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes and then turn on low heat. Add kale and cream then heat and serve.

Kale or swiss chard! Those things make me nervous! :) Look at you Katie, pulling out all these things I have never cooked with. Is it easy?
We usually use kale and it is really yummy. I haven't ever tried the swiss chard, but I am sure it would have the same effect. I think this blog is so fun. I want to try all of the new recipes!
Jerm just told me that we used swiss chard once and the kale was better. I think the kale holds up better in the soup.
And yes, it is easy.
I made this recently --traci look in your Philly cookbook-yellow cover under Suzanne Christensen. I actually really enjoyed it, but the recipe didn't call for bacon--good idea though, and i may need to try that next time. I actually didn't even know what kale was--look in the lettuce section--it's rough, but once you chop it and cook it, it's soft. I recommend this soup!
This is my husbands favorite soup from Olive Garden. When I showed him the recipe, he got really excited. I'll have to try to make it, and hopefully it will turn out just as yummy as the Olive Garden's. Thanks for the recipe, you made my husbands day!
