Shopping List:
1 lb hot or mild Italian sausage
1 onion diced
3 cloves minced garlic
6 cups chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
5 slices bacon
2-4 russet potatoes
3 handfuls chopped kale
2 tbs better than bouillon roasted garlic
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes
Directions:
In a large pot over medium heat, cook bacon. Remove bacon when finished and reserve for later.
Next, 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 and roasted garlic base to the drippings in the pot and cook until soft, then add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
Add chicken broth and potatoes and cook until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. (Fork tender)
Stir in kale and heavy cream and bring to a boil. Then, reduce to a simmer and let cook until leaves are tender and bright green. Season with salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes to taste. Garnish with shredded parmesan.
Great tip: add the cream to individual servings if you plan to have leftovers. It will not freeze well or store well if you add cream to the whole pot
Since I work night shift, I browned the sausage and then threw that along with the rest of the ingredients into a crockpot to cook for 6hrs while I slept! It was ready to go by the time I woke up. I took some to work and my coworkers killed it!
That was nice of you to take some, to your co-workers.
Nice idea with the crockpot.
❤️
They’re so lucky to work with you 💕
Even the kale?
I substituted the cream with coconut milk and I added a splash of dry sherry and went to soup heaven baby! I always use coconut milk in place of milk because it adds way more flavor.
Thanks! I am nondairy, and your coconut milk idea made my day. Happy Holidays!
That Roasted Garlic Better Than Bouillon is MAGIC. It is full of out of this world rich deepening flavor. Honestly, anything you make tastes like it’s been cooking for hours when you add that. It’s unbelievably delicious 🤤♥️
I could not agree more!! It's a staple in my house!!
@@jemsmom97 And where I am it’s hard to find, most stores only carry the chicken and beef. So when I see it at this one particular store near me I grab up as many as I can 🤣
Gotta try it. I have heard good things about it...
I was reading the comments to see if there was a substitute because it's the only ingredient out of stock 😭
Genuinely curious, what do you use it for? Other than what Mr MIH did in the video above? I bought some tonight and am not sure what to do as Ive never had the need for garlic broth.
Beautiful recipe. Love it. Always remember that Italians drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil when serving a bowl of homemade soup. It’s a finishing touch. Regardless of olive oil used in the recipe, the incredible flavor of raw olive oil along with grated cheese (I prefer Romano cheese) just completes the flavors. The taste of olive oil changes when heated so this drizzle adds great authentic flavor. Love your passion for flavor!
My favorite soup ever!!! I've been making it consistently ever since you posted your first recipe. I almost always have some in the freezer. It tastes wayyy better than Olive Garden. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you
Spicy Italian sausage, 3 roasted hatch chiles, ckn BTB, carrots, diced potatoes and 1 rutabaga.
Bay leaf.
Made tonight. It’s 8 degrees.
Yummy yum yum!
@@traceyhempel35 You must be in the midwest! -11 in Indianapolis two night ago!!
It definitely does.... I'll never go to olive garden again
It sure does. Say that again love❤❤❤
This looks so appetizing. Love this Tuscan soup. Your version looks much better than Olive Garden because it’s made at home with a lot of love.
One of my favorite soups. I love soups with sausage. I add cannelini beans in mine. I'm not sure if it counts as zupa tuscana but it's what I like. I need to make me a big pot of this. 😋
I put beans in mine too. And some red pepper flakes for some heat!
I was just thinking that I am going to do less potatoes and offset it with cannelini beans haha.
This is one of my favorite soups and I make it almost exactly the same way all year round. The only thing is I'm on low carb so I leave out the potatoes and add celery and extra kale. My husband even loves it
Cut up some chayote squash in lieu of potato and it’s a perfect fake out while doing low carb/keto.
@@Chick4choice Thanks for the tip! I live in a more rural part of the south so idk if I can find that in our local grocery stores but I'll definitely give it a go! For almost a month I couldn't even find kale around this area due to the economy. I was so bummed 😞
Turnips are a good sub!
@@Chick4choice What about daikon?
I was on keto and used cauliflower instead of potatoes and it is delicious. My family members who were not keto loved it as well. I have made it with potatoes since, but I prefer it with cauliflower.
I love this soup. I usually make it probably twice a year, it’s the ultimate comfort soup. Especially if you live in Michigan.
I love kale too, I tend to have it for breakfast sautéed with some red peppers and onion. Goes well with scrambled eggs and side of bacon. 😊
Ooooh, I’ve got to try this!
Yes Michigan folks love comfort foods. Perfect for the season!
Perfect day for this hearty soup in the Mid Atlantic! Started with ice and now just a cold, raw rain!
Agreed!
As far as I'm concerned, anything homemade is always going to be better than any restaurant! After Christmas this is on my cooking list!!
It dep
Omg! I just made this soup, and I'm doing the happy food dance in my kitchen! Delicious 😋 😋 😋
Ok!!!….I am NOT the cook of my 32 year marriage, BUT!! My Husband said, “This is the BEST dish I have ever cooked!! I Thank You for this video!! My husband LIKES ME!!👩🏾🍳
I make this recipe every winter. My family loves it.
Just made this never had it before but it’s fire. Paired it with some of the box red lobster biscuits. The hardest part was trying not to eat all the bacon waiting on the potatoes lol
So funny this popped up today - going to my brother's house for Christmas tomorrow, whose Christmas Day tradition for the past few years is take out from Olive Garden, soup, salad and breadsticks, and it's always this soup. A few years ago, I found a keto recipe that used turnips instead of potatoes, made it and asked the fam which one they liked better. I already knew the homemade version was much heartier, and they did like it. But they like the convenience of not having to cook on Christmas Day (and I already cooked most of our Thanksgiving meal!) so Olive Garden it will be. But believe me, I will be making your recipe for me and my son next week!! Thank you and Merry Christmas!!
Omg I just finished making this 5 mins ago and WHEW!!!!! It is amazing. Thank you for posting.
I've made this twice already. Can't believe how easy it is and it's so good this is my go to soup from now on!
Definitely a huge fav!! Love to make, freeze and add have for meal preps!
Yes! I'm going to attempt to make this and plenty of leftovers too. Does this freeze well? Looks so so good!
It freezes great!
This is my absolute favorite soup as well. It’s cold and a winter storm is coming through the Chicago area. Making this tonight for me and my daughter. Can’t wait! I can already tell it’s better than Olive Garden’s.
Eating that soup from Olive Garden years ago is the reason I’m obsessed with kale today. Thanks for the recipe now i can make my own .
I began making this 4yrs ago after eating at OG. Oh my, its sooo delicious!!! Easy recipe & you'll have leftovers. Its a one pot meal, except for me. The Italian sausage I buy produces a red grease, so I fry in separate pan. Easy breazy, super comfort food!!!
This soup is AMAZING!!!! We’ve made it twice in the last 4 days. We did get Olive Gardens breadsticks to go with it. And if you want your kids to eat kale definitely make this soup. My kids love it.
Love this soup! Been making it for years & it's the only soup my finicky 4 year old granddaughter will eat. Everyone in the family loves this soup!
I have made this soup several times & its my favorite. I have even swapped potatoes and put cauliflower in & still delicious.😋
I literally have been craving this soup & have been wanting to make it again. I don’t eat pork so I use beef bacon & turkey Italian sausage. Soooooo good!!! I’m going to make me a vegan non-dairy version using vegan cheese, and beyond sausage. I know it’ll be good! Thanks for sharing!!!
#confirmation on the vegan version I was thinking I should make!! 💯🙌🏾🤎
@@sister2mysoul most definitely!!!
@Queenie Maja not sure what city/town you’re in your local grocery store should carry it presliced and it would be with the other bacons (turkey/pork) or you can get it sliced from your deli where they slice the lunch meat at. Or try a meat place that specializes in carrying different meat options. Hopefully that helps because I know it’s not very popular as ppl tend to eat pork mainly a whole lot.
I just made this and it’s SOOOO GOOD! Super easy … even for someone who is admittedly cooking illiterate. I didn’t use bacon bcuz I thought it too much with sausage, and I used red potatoes instead russet. And I was xtra with kale. It still so flavorful! 😋 Super happy with how it turned out. Thank you!
I made this yesterday and it is fantastic! I don't eat red meat, so I used turkey sausage and turkey bacon. I also added white beans and my family loved it!
White Bean s...goes well with kale...I'm gonna try mine with spinach and gnocchi.... We!l see how it compares tfs
I love this soup so much, I make it at least once a week, plus it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to make, awesome for leftovers as well!
I'm definitely a souper and I would love to try this. Thanks for the recipe.
Same here. It doesn't matter what time of season it is, I can eat soup anytime, any day.😋😊
So good
I love this recipe. Not a fan of kale, but fresh spinach is what it is ❤
I've been making this since October....it has become a weekly staple. My family loves it!
Love to hear that
Made this for dinner tonight. It was fantastic! Thanks for sharing. I don't consider myself much of a soup person but this changed my mind!
The best soup ever! Can’t wait to try this at home!
Saw this on Instagram today- made it for dinner tonight. The fam is happy! Thank you for the easy and delicious recipe!
I haven't made this in a few years but homemade is truly even better than Olive Garden. I'm inspired!
Just made this for my family and served it with loaf garlic bread and it is sooooo delicious! Thank you for the recipe!
I did a keto version. Instead of potatoes, I used radishes soooooo good! Thank you!
Thank You... I was thinking about turnips but I'll try radishes...
@@mikale2005 I made it with turnips and it was very good!!
I was wondering if turnips would be a good substitute for the potatoes. That answered my question! Thanks for your comments.
Love this. I add cauliflower instead of potatoes. Yummy
Me too! Keto
I make this soup all the time, especially during the colder months here in Michigan...sometimes I add sun-dried tomatoes 😋
I make it at home sometimes but something tells me yours is better, so I will watch and make it exactly like yours the next time. I love this soup so much.
Well exactly like yours, but with heavy whipping cream. l love heavy whipping cream in anything possible. Also, I always want more cheese when I go to Olive Garden but feel pressured to tell them to stop too soon. 😆
Give it a try
Great recipe!! I follow a keto diet so will sub celery root for the potato, cant wait to try it.
Made it last night and I can honestly say the best version I made. I had another recipe I got on TH-cam before finding you and it’s similar but the better than bouillon paste took it up a notch. Definitely saving this. It taste better today too. Thank you so much from a lame who can’t cook lol
This soup looks so delicious and I love the fact that you added the kale! I'm trying this one ASAP
Love this soup. However one thing I do different is not add the cream to the pot. I add it to individual servings. Keeps it fresher.
That soup looks AMAZING- my Family and I Love Soups and Chilis!!
Thanks for this!!
My Family and I use Kale in our wild rice bowls!! Yyyyummmmmy too😊
Great recipe. Thanks for sharing. I made a batch yesterday and it is delicious. My wife commented that she really liked the thin sliced potatoes.
I MADE THIS!! BUT, I added 1 can of white beans, no kale but collards, a bit of sour cream, and a pinch of sugar. FABULOUS!!!!
You used white beans instead of potatoes?
That soup tho…it looks delicious!! I am “making it happen” this weekend!!! Thank you for these amazing recipes!! 😋
I’ve been making this for years and can honestly say it’s one of my favorite soups to make!
Hi, my name is Sabine and I live in Toronto, Canada. I have never been to Olive Garden so I never heard of this soup. I made it yesterday and it is so delicious. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe; I am a soup fanatic, I am adding this one to my repertoire.
I made a pot of this tonight and it was delicious! I used a bit of pancetta instead of bacon. Love this channel❤
Yaaasss pancetta..nice touch👌
This is my second recipe I tried from you and they both was delicious. My mom is very picky and she loved this soup. Keep those recipes coming.
I hate to admit it, but I've never heard of this soup before. I can't wait to try it. Yum. Thank you ❤️ love.
Same and I been to olive garden 100 times but I never look at the soups at any restaurant
Staple soup in my home. Usually go with a 50/50 ground beef & mild sausage in my version, comes out less salty. I also add actual red bell pepper along with the crushed red pepper. Adds an amazing sweetness. Great video 👍
Sounds bomb. I absolutely love bell peppers..I'm definitely going to add them when I make this
This looks like a good recipe - very similar to something I make all the time. There were a couple of red flags that I would caution potential cooks about. Number one, if you use the Better than Bouillon, any kind of BtB, you should be very aware of what a salt bomb it is, and perhaps use low sodium chicken broth to avoid your soup becoming overly salty. Secondly, if you decide to use half-and-half, instead of cream, be absolutely sure that you do not let the soup approach the simmer, or you’ll just have a curdled mess. Cream won’t do that.
Always looking for something diff. I never heard of this soup, but it looks good..I love potatoes so I may try this. But wanted you to kno what else you cld do with Kale tht is delicious 😋make kale chips! cut it up n roast it, put your favorite seasonings on it n when they come out they are crunchy like chips. Very tasty!!!
It’s soo good
When i say this is my 18yrs sons favorite soup. Omg he had me make this along with thanksgiving dinner. I cant lie i flavored mines up to perfection,no longer needing Olive Gardens🍲🥣😋
I also add fennel seed and powdered mustard to mine. ❤❤
I like to add a piece of Parmesan rind to my Italian soups as they are cooking. It’s so good!
I was searching for this recipe an none the less look who pops up under my recommendation I'm definitely doing your version
I’ve been making this recipe since you posted it on Twitter for the first time!!! Everyone always loves it so much!!!! 🙌🏽
Zuppa Toscana soup is one of my favorites too! I'm so hungry now. I like to smash some of the potatoes after they're soft and it thickens the broth a little after simmering for a bit. Thanks for a great video!
Making this for the second time, just got 12” of snow, going with spinach this time. This recepie is legit!
Thank you!
I started making this several years ago after having it for the first time at a Olive Garden. SOOO darn good. Never thought about the bacon or the Garlic base Better than Bouillon. Mine is good, but I'm going to try this because it looks and sounds like it will take mine to the next level. Thank you!
I'm almost 40 years old and and can count on one hand the number of times I've ordered soup at a restaurant. I'm m not a soup person but this looks fire and by the looks of the comment section this is the one. I'm def gonna make this.
Kale for health. Love it! It's the thought that counts when trying to be healthy. Great video and I have to try this recipe.
Haha! Thanks
Making this tonight for the rest of the week. Hopefully I get it right.
Update:
Turned out great lunch is going to be on point
It’s summer here 🇦🇺 but love soup anytime . This is a winner, my lunch for tomorrow too 🙏🏼
I went out to Olive Garden and I took some soup to go. My husband ate my leftover zuppa! I was upset but he suggested I make some. I love this recipe. I’ve made it twice!
Will definitely try this one soon. My husband loves soups he could eat soup everyday lol. I needed some new ideas
Looks amazing! I could go for a nice big bowl.😋
I make this soup all the time, even in the summer. I use crushed red pepper in mine to give it a kick. I put it in when I'm browning the sausage. You don't peel the potatoes. Just give them a good wash then cut them with the skin on them and in the pot they go after washing them again. Russet Potatoes 🥔 is recommended for this recipe. I don't use processed ingredients. Everything is fresh. Garlic cloves (minced), chicken stock or Knorr Chicken Cubes is good to use. It's a very easy soup to make. I use Kale as well. Everyone has their own way of making this soup.
Made this last night, so delicious! I didn't have the squeeze bottle seasonings, just used some dry Italian seasoning, more chopped garlic and the roasted chicken better than bouillon I had. Definitely something I will continue to make over and over again. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! one of my favorites for sure
Perfect for these cold winter months
Yes indeed
I love this one at home. I have been making it for years, a family favorite, now my kids make it for their families.
I agree...your version looks better than Olive Garden!! I will definitely be making this!! Another Banger👍🏽👍🏽
🤝🤝
This recipe is a hit! My husband and toddler loved it!! ❤️
I made this the other day and it was fantastic! So easy and better than take out! I also added a can of white beans. Thanks!
White beans sounds like a good idea. Thank you
Strawberry Kale Salad is best way
Just made this before work, I was surprised how quick and easy it came together with so much flavor. I changed something like I used Italian turkey sausage, oat milk (it was all I have) dry Italian seasoning it was still great
My wife been making this for years and it's my kids favorite meal hands down
Mr Make It Happen you have given me an idea! I have never even heard of Zupa Toscana soup 🍲 and I really enjoy Olive Garden. 🤯 As always the Bloopers are ALL THAT!!! 🤗 HAVE A GREAT EVENING EVERYONE!! 🌆💖😊
Looks yummy, but I would certainly add some cornstarch to thicken it!
I've been making Zuppa Toscana for nearly 15 years. My favorite!!
Yummy! I added a dash of red wine, carrots, zucchini and placed in crockpot for four hours
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I just made it tonight for my family and they all loved it. Looking forward to trying more of your recipes! Oh and your lobster Mac and cheese was amazing too! It was a hit!!!
This soup is hearty and great with white rice.
First off I watch your channel all the time. I as well as my family were in the mood for lasagna and I made your recipe with the red wine and the borsin cheese. It was the most delicious lasagna I've ever made and I make a mean one. So thank you for your delicious meals you make and I will continue to watch
I make this soup all the time!! I could eat it every day also. I add lots of mushrooms & spinach instead of kale. Just a personal preference. And I don’t put much potatoes in the soup because I am diabetic. I also add a cup of wild rice blend & carrots 🥕 shredded i use Old Bay Seafood Seasoning So Yummy!!!
I’ve been making this soup for almost 15 years. I am excited to try your version.
Definitely about to make this
Excellent soup. I’ve made this several times since first watching this video.
I eat this soup all winter, for weeks at a time. Love it.
I just made this soup and the recipe is on point. It came out great and it's delicious. This recipe made a really big pot and is a lot for me as a single but I'm going to bag it and freeze it for another time when I need a good soup. Especially during times like this cold winter we're having. 😊 Thanks for sharing this, it's 🔥🔥🔥 and way better than Olive Garden's version cause it's made with love at home 😊
2/23/23 just found your soup recipe. Watching from BEAUTIFUL Southern Iowa. Thanks this looks so very tasty. I'm making it right now😃
Looking good 😋! I have a friend who loves this soup from Olive Garden. She probably eats it every week. She doesn't cook, so I'm gonna have to make this recipe and share it with her! Thanks!
Nice job with the soup., looks delish! I make mine with Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them to be more chunky with the skin on…i use heavy cream and hit it with a squirt of lemon juice and parmesan just prior to serving… 😊
Forgot to comment, i think the lemon juice just brightens the flavor a wee bit…i won’t go without it now that i tried it.
Nice

I'm a potato and kale lover so I add way more kale and new and gold potatoes for that potato happy profile.
For non kale lovers try with baby kale or spinach added to the bottom of your bowl, then label on piping hot soup to wilt your greens. Just know putting spinach in the soup why cooking will make the spinach soggy. It doesn't hold up in this soup.
