Olive Garden is one of my favorite places to go for Soup, Salad and Breadsticks. Â Well, their breadsticks are only good if you dip them in alfredo sauce. Â Let’s just say, I gain about 5 pounds when I eat there.
Zuppa Toscana Soup is what I always get when I am there. Â It’s by far my all time favorite soup. Â Hands down. Â I think this is my Italian side coming out in me.
This copy cat recipe that I came up with tastes just like the one from Olive Garden, and because it’s made in the Crock Pot, it’s a cinch!
Here is all you need:
6 Ingredients, easy huh?
- 1 pound Italian Sausage
- 1 pint Heavy Cream
- 1 bunch Kale, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 6-7 Red Potatoes diced into bite size pieces
- 14 oz chicken broth
- 2 cups water
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Parmesan Cheese as a topping
1. Brown  and crumble sausage in a  frying pan.
2. Add to your crock pot cooked sausage, diced potatoes, chopped onion, cut up kale, chicken broth and water. Â Add salt and pepper.
3. Cook on low for about 4-6 hours. Â 30 minutes before serving, add heavy whipping cream and stir well. Â Continue cooking for 30 minutes or more after adding the heavy cream.
Top with Parmesan cheese if desired. Â Enjoy!
How do you print out just the recipe ? I ended up with 5 pages I can’t wait to make this soup. I love the Olive Garden Zuppa. Thank you for the recipe.

Copy and paste the ingredient list and instructions into a word processor. Then print it. I’ve tried using plug in’s for recipes and they always mess up my site, so I don’t use them anymore. Sorry!
All I do is highlight the section I want to print, and click on print. I accidentally discovered that… I used to do the copy and paste thing 🙂
I made this tonight and tried 6 hours on low and my potatoes were still hard. Mine were sliced a lot thinner than yours are in the picture. Did you boil yours first?
No I didn’t cook my potatoes beforehand. Every crockpot is different, yours must cook a lot cooler than mine. Sorry about that!
