One-Pot Zuppa Toscana Soup (Olive Garden Copycat)
Description
The One-Pot Zuppa Toscana Soup begins with browning medium spicy Italian sausage in a pot over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Diced yellow onion and pressed garlic cloves are added and cooked until the onion softens.
Water combined with beef bouillon enriches the pot, and the mixture is simmered for about 30 minutes to develop flavor. Large potatoes peeled and cut into medium pieces are added to the pot to cook until tender.
After the potatoes soften, heavy whipping cream is stirred in and brought to a boil briefly before chopped fresh kale is added. The pot is covered and removed from heat, allowing the kale to soften gently in the residual heat. The soup can be served with grated Parmesan cheese and optional bacon bits for garnish.
This recipe offers a creamy, well-seasoned soup with tender potatoes, spicy sausage, and the nutritional addition of kale, suitable as a standalone meal on cooler days.
