Sausage, Potato, and Kale Soup The Pioneer Woman Cooks

Yay. Its soup weather!

This is a make-at-home version of Olive Gardens Zuppa Toscana. If you have an Olive Garden nearby, you may choose not to make this. You make choose instead to drive to Olive Garden, get out of your car, go inside, order Zuppa Toscana, then eat Zuppa Toscana.

But if youre like me and dont like to leave your house, making it at home is the next best thing.

By the way, my kids pretty much think Olive Garden is the best restaurant on the face of the planet. I just thought Id share. I figure thisll save us a lot of money on that whole eating-our-way-through-Italy trip we no longer need to take.

 
 
First up, tear the kale into pieces and rinse it in cold water.

 
 
 
Drain it in a colander and set it aside for a bit.

By the way: kale. Do you eat it very often? Im on a kick lately. I absolutely love it.

 
 
 
Next, slice up a bunch of red potatoes and boil them in a pot.

 
 
 
When theyre tender, throw them into a colander

 
 
 
And set them aside, too.

Im cooking the potatoes ahead of time because Im weird. Its that starch-floating-in-soup thing that I have nightmares about.

I can not emphasize this enough: dont be like me.

 
 
 
Grab some Italian sausage.

 
 
 
Throw it in a pot with a little olive oil

 
 
 
And crumble it up as it browns. (Note: I should have added the onion with the sausage, but I forgot. This is where youll want to add it.)

 
 
 
Brown it completely, then drain off as much of the fat as you can. A little bit will remain in the soup from the sausage itself, so if you can get rid of the excess, itll be better.

 
 
 
Add in the crushed red pepper, the ground oregano, and the chicken broth

 
 
 
Then add the milk and the half-and-half. (I transferred the sausage to a larger pot just before this step. Again, dont be like me.)

 
 
 
Mmmm. Looking good, baby. Creamy soups are my life. I just now decided this.

Now just give it a stir and simmer it for a good 20-30 minutes.

 
 
 
After it simmers, throw in the beautiful, bright green kale

 
 
 
followed by the cooked potatoes. Dont worry if theyre falling apart; you dont want big, firm chunks of potatoes in the soup.

 
 
 
Stir all this together, then add a splash of heavy cream because youre a rebel and you want a last-minute burst of richness.

 
 
 
Simmer this for 10 minutes or so, being sure to taste it so that you can adjust the seasonings. And if you want things a little thicker, you could add a little bit of flour mixed with milk, then let it simmer for another 10 minutesOR you could mash a few of the potatoes in the soup.

 
 
 
I sort of like the light, thin consistency, though. Doesnt feel so heavy going down.

 
 
 
Yummy, yummy, yummy.

 
 
 
Ive got love in my tummy.

This is good, guys. Because of the sausage, its definitely on the rich sidea little goes a long way! The kale is particularly deliciousyoull love it.

Viva la Olive Garden!
