A creamy, hearty Italian-style soup with sausage, potatoes, and kale — inspired by Olive Garden’s classic Zuppa Toscana, but even better homemade.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb Italian sausage (hot or mild)

  • 1 yellow onion, diced

  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 4 cups diced russet potatoes

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 2–3 cups chopped kale

  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional: 4 slices cooked bacon, chopped

  • Optional: Grated Parmesan, for topping

Instructions

  • In a large pot, brown sausage. Remove excess grease if needed.

  • Add onion and sauté until soft. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds.

  • Add broth and potatoes. Simmer 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender.

  • Reduce heat. Stir in cream and kale. Simmer 5 minutes until kale softens.

  • Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

  • Serve hot with grated Parmesan and bread on the side.

Notes

  • Swap kale with spinach or chard.

  • Use coconut milk for dairy-free version.

  • Great for leftovers — refrigerate up to 4 days.
