olive garden soup

This crock pot zuppa toscana soup is an Olive Garden copycat recipe that makes it easy to bring the taste of Italy home. A simple dinner for busy weekdays!

Crock Pot Zuppa Toscana

lb ground hot Italian sausage

garlic

onion

russet potato (diced)

salt (to taste)

black pepper (to taste)

chicken broth ((32 oz))

water (see recipe instructions)

kale (stems removed and torn into bite-sized pieces)

heavy whipping cream

parmesan cheese ((for topping))

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown and crumble hot Italian sausage, about 5-8 minutes. Add onion and garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until some of the onion begins to turn translucent (no need to cook onion completely at this point). Drain grease from skillet.

In a 6 quart crock pot (or bigger), add cooked sausage &amp; veggies plus the diced potato. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour chicken broth on top. There should be enough broth to cover the tops of the potatoes; if there isn&#x27;t, add up to 2 cups water so potatoes are covered.

Gently stir ingredients, cover crock pot, and cook on LOW for 5-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.

Remove lid from crock pot and add kale and heavy whipping cream, then stir to combine.

Cover crock pot and cook on HIGH for another 30 minutes.

Serve zuppa toscana immediately with shredded parmesan cheese as garnish.

Minestrone soup is so hearty it can stand on its own as the main dish! I fell in love with minestrone at the Olive Garden, so this is a pretty darn close attempt at copying the classic Italian soup.

carrots

zucchinis

celery

oz canned diced tomatoes

oz vegetable broth

oz canned great Northen beans ((drained))

oz canned Kidney beans ((drained))

Italian seasoning

Preheat the pot with olive oil, add zucchini, carrots, celery and onions. Sautee for about 10 minutes, until vegetables soften.

To the pot, add canned diced tomatoes. Season with Italian seasoning and dry basil.

Add vegetable broth, noodles, kidney and Great Northen beans. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Depending on the thickness of the soup, you can add 2 more cups of water to the mix.

Press garlic into the mixture and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Zuppa Toscana "Tuscan Soup"

oz bacon ((about 8 slices), chopped)

oz breakfast sausage

tsp tsp cayenne pepper (more

onion (diced)

tbsp minced garlic

chicken bullion (to tastes)

kale, (chopped w/ stems removed)

navy beans, (drained and rinsed (optional))

half and half (more or less to taste)

Rinse but don&#39;t peel potatoes. Poke with a fork several times each and place in the microwave. Cook for 9-12 minutes or until potatoes are softened on all sides. (I use a clean dish towel to lightly squeeze and check them since they are hot). Chop cooked potatoes into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

While potatoes are in the microwave, chop and cook bacon in a large dutch oven over high heat for 10 minutes or until edges are crispy. When done, scoop out cooked bacon pieces and set aside on a plate or in a bowl. Drain excess bacon fat and return unwashed pot to stove. Keep heat on high.

Add sausage to dutch oven along with cayenne pepper and diced onion. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring every minute or so. Add minced garlic then cook for an additional minute or until sausage is browned.

Add cooked bacon to pot along with potatoes, chicken broth, chicken bullion, kale and drained navy beans. Bring to a boil.

Once boiling, stir in half and half. Then remove from heat and serve.
