Olive Garden has a Zuppa soup that I love and I got a recipe that I use to make it. Not theirs maybe but I can't tell the difference.

Ingredients:

4 strips thick cut bacon
1 onion
1 lb hot Italian sausage
4 cans chicken broth
1 lb potatoes, sliced
1 small heavy whipping cream
1 bunch kale (remove stems)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions: In large soup pot cook bacon and drain off all but 1 tablespoons of oil. Move bacon to sides and put in diced onion and stir. Add sausage and cook until done. Drain. Add broth and potatoes and cook until potatoes are done. Add kale and cook for 3 more minutes and add cream and salt and pepper and stir and taste.


My favorite wintertime soup.
