This Zuppa Toscana soup recipe is just one of many popular copycat Olive Garden recipes! Savory Italian flavor, hearty potatoes, and plenty of cream come together for the perfect creamy Italian soup.
Fry up the hot Italian sausage, drain the fat and set it aside when done
In a large stock pot, add your onions, potatoes, garlic, chicken broth, and water. Cover and bring it to a boil, and then reduce to medium heat. Cook until potatoes are done, about 30 minutes
Add the cooked hot Italian sausage to the pot and let it boil for ten minutes. Then add the kale and simmer for another ten minutes. Make sure you don't add the stems to the soup. Personally, I don't like the texture and I find the taste is bitter. *Updated February 12, 2014: I have found the kale to still be a little too crunchy so I simmer for twenty minutes*
Bring the simmer down to a lower heat and add your cream and red pepper flakes. Heat through, about 10 more minutes
Serve warm and enjoy!
