Olive Garden Tuscan Soup Copycat Recipe

This soup is SO GOOD and super easy to throw together!!  It has become a family favorite and I love making it for company too!

• 2-26 oz cartons chicken stock
• 1 c heavy cream
• 4 large potatoes
• 1 whole bunch kale
• 2 lb Italian or Spicy sausage (depending on taste)
• 1 t salt
• Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Because I don’t like spicy like the rest of my family does, I use the Italian sausage and then I serve the crushed red pepper flakes on the side so that everyone can adjust the soup to their own tastes.

Saute sausage--I use my dutch oven pan from start to finish.

Add chicken stock and cream.

Cut potatoes and add to soup

Cut up kale (I use my kitchen shears)  Remove and discard the stems.  Add to soup.

Let simmer for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender.

Enjoy!
