Zuppa Toscana Knock-Off
Filed Under (potatoes, soup) by NerdMom on 12-02-2009
I love Olive Garden but NerdDad isn’t a huge fan. I always wanted this soup so when I found this recipe I was in hog heaven!!!!! It is easy, quick and fairly cheap.
Ingredients:
1lb Italian Sausage (I use the Italian Sausage from the Meat Market, 2 links)
2 large Russet Baking Potatoes sliced in half, and then in 1/4 inch slices
1 large Onion, chopped
1/2 can Oscar Meyer Real Bacon Bits
2 cloves Garlic, minced
2 cups Kale or Swiss Chard, chopped
2 cans Chicken Broth
1 qt Water
1 c Heavy Whipping Cream
Process:
Cook your sausage. I remove the casing and then fry it. You could also bake for 1/2 hour at 300 degrees and then cut into slices.
Put your onions, potatoes, chicken broth, water, and garlic in the pot and cook on medium heat until potatoes are done. Add sausage, bacon, salt, and pepper to taste and simmer for another 10 minutes. Turn on low heat, add kale and cream. Heat through and serve!
