Total Time: 7 hours

Yield: 4 servings

Source: adapted from Olive Garden's popular soup

Ingredients:

  • 4 Italian sausage links - roughly half pound (I used turkey)
  • 4 cups diced potatoes (I kept skins on)
  • 1 med onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 Tbsp each garlic salt and black pepper
  • 4 cups kale, rinsed and rough chopped, stems removed
  • 1 cup sour cream or sour cream veggie dip (my "pantry clean out")

Steps:

  1. Brown sausage with garlic and onion until cooked through (I used water to simmer, but olive oil would work, too). Let cool and cut sausage into bite sized chunks.
  2. Load up the crockpot with onion, garlic, sausage, potatoes, chicken broth, water, salt and pepper. Cook on low for 6 hours.
  3. Add in kale and sour cream. Cook on low for 30 minutes.
  4. Almost Zuppa Toscana

Does anyone have the recipe for the new Olive Garden soup that has sausage and chunks of potato in it? The broth resembles a chowder rather than a soup broth and it's delicious. The sausage is all in tiny pieces. I don't know the Italian name but we enjoyed it and would like to make it at home.

This is not the exact version but my family likes it better than Olive Garden's.

TOSCANA SOUP

6 cup chicken broth
1 lb. sweet or spicy Italian sausage

1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp. salt, optional
2-3 medium russet potatoes
1/4 - 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
10 oz. frozen chopped spinach
Garlic to taste, optional

Combine stock and cream over medium heat.

Cube unpeeled potatoes; add to soup.

Add spinach.

Brown sausage. Cool. Cut in half lengthwise and cut into slices or crumble. Add to soup.

Add spices. Simmer for 2 hours. Stir occasionally.

I brown the sausage in a 375 degree oven using a foil lined pan for 30 minutes, turning after the first 15 minutes.

Potatoes can be substituted with cauliflower for a low carbohydrate version of this soup. I also used 1/2 mild 1/2 spicy turkey sausage instead of pork sausage. Sometimes, fennel is used.

Basically is Sausage Chowder. All chowders or soups are made the same way. Brown the meats in a little oil, add soup stock liquid, rest of your ingredients, & simmer until done. Add cream at the end if you want a creamy soup.
The flavor of the soup will be what ever you put in it, IE broccoli flavor? Add broccoli. alfredschrader AT aol.com
