Definitely soup weather in Kansas! And Zuppa Toscana certainly hit the spot. It's Barry's copycat version one of Olive Garden signature soups; his is even better than the original! We served it with Quick & Easy Breadsticks.
Zuppa Toscana
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 to 6 cups chicken broth
4 large russet potatoes, slice & diced with skins left on
About 2 cups curly kale, leaves stripped and chopped
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
About 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Sprinkling of hot pepper flakes
About 1 cup heavy cream
Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving
- In a large pot over medium heat, cook sausage, breaking up with the back of a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate to drain.
- Add onion to pot and let cook until soft, 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
- Add chicken broth, potatoes, kale and seasoning; cook until potatoes and kale are tender, 23 to 25 minutes.
- Check seasonings and stir in heavy cream and heat on low to medium temperature.
- Garnish with Parmesan cheese if desired.
