{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Restaurant-Style Zuppa Toscana

 

I worked all day today and just about collapsed when I got home.  It was sunny today and it the mid-60’s.  A really nice day.  I’m looking forward to the weekend!  I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend and I’ll see you Monday.

Restaurant-Style Zuppa Toscana

"I worked at Olive Garden for over 4 years so I know their Zuppa Toscana inside and out. This is the closest recipe I've found." Serve with Breadsticks.

"Creamy sausage and potato soup. This recipe is very similar to the one served in a well known restaurant."

Prep: 15 minutes

Cook: 50 minutes

Ready In: 1 hour 5 minutes

Makes: 6 servings

1 (16 ounce) package smoked sausage

2 potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices

3/4 cup chopped onion

6 slices bacon

1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic

2 cups kale - washed, dried, and shredded

2 tablespoons chicken soup base

1 quart water

1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

2. Place sausage links onto a sheet pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until done. Cut links in half lengthwise, then cut at an angle into 1/2-inch slices.

3. Place onions and bacon slices in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until onions are almost clear. Remove bacon and crumble. Set aside.

4. Add garlic to the onions and cook an additional 1 minute. Add chicken soup base, water, and potatoes, simmer 15 minutes.

5. Add crumbled bacon, sausage, kale, and cream. Simmer 4 minutes and serve.

As you waste your breath complaining about life, someone out there is breathing their last.

Appreciate what you have.

Be thankful and stop complaining.

Live more, complain less.

Have more smiles, less stress.
