Toscana Soup — Olive Garden

by Stephanie

Ready for another Olive Garden recipe? This one is for their fabulous Toscana Soup. It’s a knock-off (not officially sanctioned), but I’m pretty sure you’ll approve!

Toscana Soup

12 sausage links, sliced
3/4 c diced onion
1 1/4 t minced garlic
2 T chicken base or 4 chicken bullion cubes
1 quart water
2 medium potatoes — cut into cubes
2 c sliced kale leaves
1/3 c heavy whipping cream

Bake sausage 25 minutes at 300 degrees; cut into 1/2-inch slices. Cook onions and bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until onions are almost clear, then add garlic and continue cooking for about one more minute. Add chicken base, water and potatoes, and simmer 15 minutes. Add sausage, kale and cream. Simmer 5 minutes and serve.
