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.

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.
ZUPPA DI POMODORI CIPOLLE (TOMATO ONION SOUP)
This is a fairly easy and terrific recipe to try, especially in the summer if you have an over-abundance of home-grown tomatoes. Use the fresh herbs, if possible, for a true taste sensation!

Steps:
- Slice tomatoes in quarters.
- Thinly slice onions (about 1/4").
- In large kettle, mix the following: beef broth, tomato juice, tomatoes, onions, garlic and herbs (basil, parsley, rosemary & oregano). Bring to a boil, lower heat and allow to simmer for approximately 25-30 mjnutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Place 6 individual, oven-proof serving bowls onto baking sheet(s) - this will aide in placing and removing bowls from oven. Place a chunk of bread into each of the 6 individual, oven-proof serving bowls. Ladle soup over bread and top with Mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and nice bubbles begin to form. Carefully remove from oven.
- *NOTE: Keep in mind the size of your serving bowls when you purchase and/or slice the bread. For example, if using an Italian Panne bread, slice the bread in half from top to bottom, then slice vertically into 1-1/4" slices (or you may not want your chunk of bread that big, depending on the size of your bowls). If using a baguette, you need only slice the bread the thickness you desire. You get the idea, right?.
- You can serve this with a crisp green salad or as a prelude to any meal. Great to serve company or for dinner parties!

TUSCAN BREAD AND TOMATO SOUP (PAPPA AL POMODORO)
Pappa means pap, which is what this soup is. If you ever needed proof that stale bread needn't go to waste, this soup is it. And this stale bread recipe can be made with canned tomatoes, so you can make it throughout the year. When the weather is hot, you can serve this at room temperature.

Steps:
- If your bread is too hard to cut, douse it with water first. Then remove the crusts and cut into cubes. You should have about 7 cups.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about a minute, until fragrant. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have cooked down, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Stir the bread cubes into the tomatoes. Add the water, half the basil, and about 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and simmer, stirring and mashing the bread, for about 10 minutes, until the soup is thick, like oatmeal. Stir in the remaining basil, taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, warm, or room temperature.
