Olive Garden's ***Zuppa Toscana***


After a few months of not feeling well with morning (a.k.a. -- All day) sickness, I decided to get ambitious and cook dinner again.


If any of you have been to Olive Garden, this is the white soup with potatoes and kale. This recipe is so easy and yummy. ENJOY!!!



Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups Sausage meat
3/4 cup Diced onions
6 slices Bacon
1 1/4 teaspoons Minced garlic
2 tablespoons Chicken stock
4 cups Water
2 medium Potatoes, cut in half and then into 1/4 slices
2 cups Kale, cut in half and then sliced
1/3 cup Heavy whipping cream


Directions: Cook sausage meat and set a side. Place onions and bacon in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until onions are almost clear. Add garlic and cook an additional 1 minute. Add chicken base, water and potatoes, simmer 15 minutes. Add sausage, kale and cream. Simmer 4 minutes and serve.


***Side Note*** I used the sausage meat that isn't in formed links from Sprouts; so it looks like ground whatever.
