I made this soup according to the recipe, plus a little Habanero and it turned out prefect . A delicious, and easy soup. :-)

I started making this soup for my daughter about 3 years ago due to the fact that she was always wanting to go to olive garden to eat this soup, and I thought that I could make it as good if not better! This soup is amazing! Its Hearty, filling, stick to your ribs kinda good! I like to serve it with a nice chunk of crusty bread, sometimes I melt cheese on top of the bead for a special touch! Its great the first night, but even better the next day or two (if any is left)! Enjoy!

I boiled sausages and added the water to my soup. it added a wonderful flavor! Even my two year old loved it. Will be making this again!
ErikaLauren85 @cook_2807370
(L) :excited I made this in my crock pot & substituted ground beef for sausage . It was AMAZING! I used 2percent milk instead of heavy cream. I Will Definately make this again. Thanks so much for the recipe XD

KrissiKat @cook_2871599

KimNJim427 @cook_2867858
I love this recipe!.... it's simple and has so much flavor like you cooked all day!
MaybeKatie @cook_2901178
The soup was a little crowded, but delicious. When I make it again, I'll add more potatoes and a lot more broth!
Midari1 @cook_2906776
I like using hot Italian sausage. Can also use half and half to cut calories but still keep the flavor
Frederika @cook_2814472
Delicious!! My boyfriend and I love these kind of flavours. Will definitely be making this again soon. Forgot to take a picture, will do next time! :chef
Mommy OQuinn @cook_2913091
My husband and I loved it. I added a bit more potatoes and cream. I also used Jimmy Dean hot sausage... Soooo yummy with cheddar biscuits and salad! :nod
Lisalynn1968 @cook_2883984
Decided to try something new and made this for a party, it turned out great. Everyone loved it. I forgot the bacon, but no one missed it. Awesome, quick to make, delicious! :-)
Mrs.C.Jones @cook_2916943
I had this at olive garden and didn't fit my taste buds, I guess I'm not big on the spicey stuff...
MrsDixon @cook_2917848
I make mine the same way, but I dont cube my potatoes I thinly slice them like at olive garden

OMG! OMG! We had never had Kale, so I was skeptical, but OMG! I can't follow a recipe for the life of me but I can tell you what I did and what will be different next time. I used Yukon golds so they would hold up better. Using my soup pot, I browned regular ground Italian sausage and added extra fennel seed (toasted) cause we love the flavor. I did my bacon in the oven and drained both meats and placed on paper towels. With whatever drippings remained in my pot I cooked my onion and at last minute added 4 med to lg crushed cloves of garlic. I then deglazed with 1 cp of my homemade chicken stock and slowly added in 4-5 cups of water and chicken bullion. At this point add in crushed red pepper or cayenne. if you don't like it spicy, use just a little because the flavor is elevated 10 times. It's delicious! My mistake was letting then letting the potatoes become fork tender. Nope not next time. I will add potatoes just for a few minutes before everything else next time. I added my meat, kale and whipping cream + 1 1/2 cp half and half ( mainly because it wasn't thickening and partly because at this point I knew I wanted leftovers). I added more kale and a little half & half every time I reheated it. So good!
PiePie @cook_2941417
while I have never followed this recipe, I have been making this soup for years. For a more authentic recipe add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Tastyandhasty @cook_2993109
Thank you for this recipe. Zuppa Tuscana is the only thing worth any effort at Olive Garden. This recipe is very simple to make and the result is great. Only thing I will be improving upon is the amount of meat and potatoes, the other ratios are perfect. Meat is overpowering in texture and it's not like it's healthy and the amount provided in the recipe is unnecessary. I'll try half of the amount next time. For my taste I'll be adding more potatoes . Not to take away from a great recipe, just a personal preference. Thanks! Cook on! :chef
Tesita @cook_2995636
Well, isnt this is weird!?! today I had this soup from a cafe that has awesome homemade soups and ice cream... I said to my aunt I need to make this but make it "my way" which is just about what's listed in this recipe that's posted on here tonight. so I think its meant to be for me to make this soup the way I will like it even better then what I had today.
thanks guys for reminding me how much I love being creative in the kitchen. I lost it for a while....

apostolicmom @cook_3079939
I can't tell you how often my family asks me to make this! it's unbelievably delicious and not difficult to make.zuppa toscana is my family's favorite soup, and a definite "must" for cold days! :-*
asapnback @cook_3086587
This has been in our rotation for a little while now. I use two-three sausage spicy.sausage links, two skin on potatoes, A LOT of kale, a lot of parsley and crushed red pepper flakes and a little rosemary and crushed chicken bullion. I also add some shredded carrot. This is how I make it everytime now
and it tastes very close to olive gardens and is VERY good!

blancoshelly @cook_3128152
this was AMAZING! I added more garlic because in my kitchen you can never have too much garlic.... and I used less water because I wanted a creamier version. SO good! I was planning on sharing with as friend who always makes soup for me......sorry Wendy :( but we just couldn't part with it!
brandnewhousewife @cook_3138292
I added some accent but other than that I made it exactly like the recipe. I loved it, also ate for breakfast the next morning. My husband did not, but he is not a fan of soup. Great recipe. B-)
bridget.tibbs @cook_3143415
I made this with apple sausage from our local sausage shop. Absolutely amazing!
caitsmom @cook_3156185
i cooked this for my mom n dad and it was AWESOME! she wants more..i added some red pepper flakes and used thawed frozen spinach..no change in taste..i adjusted al9l ingredients for amount n taste i desired..AWESOME!
corinne.balisky @cook_3214086
Yes people, this works. I added extra garlic, double kale, a leek and pureed it. just make sure your sausage is of good quality...smoked tastes best. Used extra half and half cream. Cheers. Pretty fail safe...
di.jimenez.982 @cook_3257624
made it to the letter and it's great but next time I will double the potatoes and add some herbs. it's lacking for some depth.
eeniesboo @cook_3284919
Mine came out pretty bland, but I added parmesan cheese and it tasted PERFECT!! also didn't have any sausage to add...
jimconnerphoto @cook_3433860
My wife and son both love the soup at Olive Garden. I made this for them and they raved about it. Excellent recipe. Like previous posts I also put less water and it turned out fantastic.
love_4_food @cook_3565923
I made this for dinner tonight. My family loved it! It was delicious!! thanks for sharing.
Michelle Cain @cook_3627102
I add some ground beef to it and sprinkle some sharp cheddar cheese on top! Amazing :-)
newhousewive @cook_3685494
This soup was awesome, although my husband did not like it. But he is not a big soup fan. I loved it so much I'm eating it for breakfast right now. B-)
phunkat @cook_3729553
Super easy and my 10yr olds favorite soup to date..... Family fav for sure
shawntabg @cook_3830326
This dish was OK. I think if another type of sausage was put in it. The dish would've been just right.
tramag @cook_3926798

girlroxy @cook_3338664
I was very impressed it was very good I have a 2&4 year old and they loved it! =^.^=
hittpants11 @cook_3369129
This is one of the easiest recipes i have ever made! This was so easy to make!I did add an extra cup of heavy cream and added 26 oz of chicken stock instead of 14 oz of chicken broth. I used turkey bacon instead of regular bacon.Also, I recommend trying a squeeze of lemon juice in the bowl right before serving. It compliments the flavors quite well! :chef
iituff2 @cook_3381706
OMG! This worth every minute you spend making it. Warms your soul on a cold winter's night :hungry
