One Pot Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Soup

Recipe Description

This One Pot Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Soup is so easy to prepare and it is a real crowd pleaser. I love to make a large batch of this soup at the weekend. I serve it for lunch for the family if we have a busy day and if there is any left, I enjoy it for lunches during the week. 

To make this soup, I start by cooking meat. Next I sauté onion and garlic before adding broth and water to the pot and seasoning. I add thinly sliced potatoes and cooked sausage to the pot and simmer. Once the potatoes are tender, I add kale to the soup, and cook a little more before stirring in the heavy cream. To serve, I ladle the soup into large bowls and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

To make One Pot Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
