A yummy make-at-home version of Olive Garden’s “Zuppa Toscana.” A hearty, flavorful soup for the colder months!
Prepare the kale and set it aside.
In a medium pot. boil sliced potatoes until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large pot, crumble and brown the Italian sausage. Drain as much as the fat as you can. Stir in the red pepper flakes, oregano, chicken broth, milk, and half-and-half. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Give it a taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add the potatoes, a splash of heavy cream for richness, then stir in the kale. Simmer an additional 10-15 minutes, then serve.

You forgot to put the amount of Reagan know you use as well as where to add the onions and went to sauté them

Made this for dinner last night. I also forgot the onion. I was surprised that the kale did not cook down. I am having a bowl for lunch (next day) and like it so much more. I think next time I will cook the potatoes in the soup so hopefully they will make it a little thicker. Flavors were good.

Made this last night. Had to make the Italian sausage from scratch with some pork I had in the freezer. It turned out delicious, even though I didn’t quite have all the spices (no oregano). Thanks for this. It was a big hit with my husband!

I have an excuse for leaving out the onion – the instructions don’t tell you when to add it. If I’d read more carefully, I’m sure I’d have figured it out. Duh.

Tasty even with modifications:
1. Forgot to put in onions
2. Used kielbasa and turkey bacon instead of Italian sausage.
3. Used evaporated milk instead of cream.
4. Used ham broth instead of chicken broth.
I’d have used the ingredients that the recipe calls for if I’d had them. Instead, I used what I had. This is a very adaptable recipe. Thanks for sharing it!
