We were so smitten with Olive Garden's most popular soup, we decided to crack the code so that we could make it ourselves on those days that we just can't get there.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 strips thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
4 to 5 large russet potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds), unpeeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large white onion, diced
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 cups chicken broth
6 cups curly kale, stems removed and leaves roughly chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate with a slotted spoon; set aside to drain. Add the Italian sausage to the drippings and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Add the potatoes, garlic and onion to the drippings and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with the crushed red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Add the chicken broth, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender and cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the kale, heavy cream, bacon and sausage and cook over medium heat until the kale is tender, another 5 minutes. Stir in the vinegar just before serving.

EASY OLIVE GARDEN ZUPPA TOSCANA SOUP



Easy Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Soup image

I love Zuppa Toscana, and this was a great variation. I had a mild sausage so I just added cayenne pepper. I also used almond and coconut milk instead of heavy whipping cream. It was still terrific although I would have used whipping cream if I had any. I used spinach in place of kale, and I skipped the bacon. Recipe courtesy of www.oecremedelacrumb.com.
