• Add the cream and bacon bits, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Notes:.
• I use 10 medium size potatoes.

• Kale can be found in the produce department of most grocery stores.
• The soup at The Olive Garden is not thick. If you wish yours to be more like a cream soup, simply simmer it longer, and mash some of the potatoes in the pot with a wooden spoon, and stir frequently until of the desired consistency.
