ZUPPA TOSCANA SOUP (like Olive Garden's)



OK...finally came up with a recipe that looks and taste just like the soup served at Olive Garden that all my friends love......Enjoy!!!!!!

1 lb. hot Italian Sausage - crumbled
1/2 lb. smoked bacon - chopped
1 qt. water
2 cans chicken broth
2 lg. russet potatoes, cubed
1 med. onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cups chopped kale OR swiss chard
1 cup heavy whipping cream
salt and pepper to taste

In skillet brown sausage, breaking into small pieces as you fry it; drain and set aside.
Now brown the bacon, drain, set aside.
Place the water, broth, potatoes, garlic, and onion in a pot, simmer over medium heat until potatoes are tender.
Add the sausage and bacon to the pot, and simmer for 10 mins.
Add the kale and cream to the pot, season with salt and pepper; and heat through.
Easy and VERY GOOD!!!!

You can substitue cauliflower in place of the potatoes if on a low-carb diet
