OLIVE GARDEN ZUPPA TOSCANA SOUP
This is The Olive Garden's recipe, from their cookbook. It is not a copycat. It has been cut down to make a more reasonable size. I have made this for several years, and everyone who has tasted it, loves it. It is a hearty meal in itself, or it can be served with salad and bread. This is especially good on a cold winter night ! ***I have edited the cooking order to make the preparation time shorter.***

Steps:
- In a large stockpot, put water, bouillon, salt, red pepper flakes, garlic, and potatoes. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Sauté the sausage and onion in a skillet, until the sausage is brown, then add it to the stockpot, along with the Kale. Simmer for 20 - 30 minutes, or until Kale and potatoes are tender.
- Add the cream and bacon bits, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Notes:.
- I use 10 medium size potatoes.
- Half and Half can be substituted for the heavy cream if desired.
- Kale can be found in the produce department of most grocery stores.
- The soup at The Olive Garden is not thick. If you wish yours to be more like a cream soup, simply simmer it longer, and mash some of the potatoes in the pot with a wooden spoon, and stir frequently until of the desired consistency.
ZUPPA TOSCANA SOUP (OLIVE GARDEN CLONE)
I have tried quite a few different recipes that state they are a Zuppa Toscana Copy Cat but none of them had much flavor and while they were close I set out to make a soup that is Zuppa Toscana.

- Remove and put in boiling stock.
- In the same skillet add olive oil and cook Italian sausage (with casings removed).

- Add mixture to the stock.
- By this time check to see if potatoes are cooked by trying to squish them on the side of the stock pot.
- When they are done reduce heat and add cream and Swiss chard, salt, anise, red pepper, black pepper.
- Serve with garlic bread or corn bread (or even better an herbed Parmesan corn bread).
