Zuppa Tuscana Soup (Olive Garden CopyCat) Recipe

Zuppa Tuscana soup from the Olive Garden is my absolute favorite soup in the world. However, packing up my family of 6 every time I am craving it, is just not feasible.  Thank goodness I have discovered this amazing copycat recipe. Not only is this soup everything I hoped for but it is even better! I love that I can add extra Kale and Potatoes to make it a bit more hardy. Add some freshly grated Parmesan cheese and this soup is simply divine!

Cuisine: Soup

Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian sausage
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 large white onion, diced
• 3 large Russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
• 4 slices bacon chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups Water
• 1 cup Heavy cream (I use 2% for less fat)
• 3 cups Kale, washed and roughly chopped
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Parmigiana Cheese

Instructions

1. In a medium skillet, saute the Italian sausage with the red pepper flakes. (If you want your soup to be more spicy use “hot” Italian Sausage and add 1½ tsp of red pepper flakes)
2. In a large pot, saute the bacon. When the bacon is half way cooked, add the onions and garlic. Saute until the onions are tender (about 5 minutes).
3. Add the chicken broth and water and bring to a boil.
4. Add the potatoes and cook until soft, about 10 minutes.
5. Add in the heavy cream and sausage and cook until the soup is heated.
6. Stir in the chopped kale. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
7. Grate some fresh parmigiana cheese atop and enjoy 🙂
