Copycat Olive Garden Recipe

We’ve always been fans of soup and especially the Zuppa Toscana recipe from Olive Garden. We found a copycat recipe for this soup and were so excited to try it to go with our copycat Olive Garden Breadsticks. Fortunately, this recipe tastes even better than the real thing and is so delicious and simple. No need to head to the restaurant now that you can enjoy this recipe at home.

Ingredients

PREP TIME: 15 minutes COOK TIME: 20 minutes

6-7 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled – We love to cook Bacon in the Oven 16 ounces Jimmy Dean Italian Sausage – adjust the heat in the soup by using mild sausage or a spicy sausage. 1 tablespoon minced garlic – a fundamental flavor base in many soups and adds a savory and aromatic quality. 32 ounces chicken stock – chicken broth or vegetable broth 6-7 cups water 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¼ inch pieces 2 cups kale leaves, chopped – To reduce the bitterness of kale, rinse after chopping. You can also use spinach instead. 1 cup heavy whipping cream – or half and half garlic salt with parsley flakes black pepper, to taste shaved Parmesan cheese, optional topping
