Toscana Soup

I'm not a fan of chain restaurants, but I do like Olive Garden for their Zuppa Toscana. If you like their sausage soup you will like this recipe. This is easy to make because there are so few ingredients. So if you are looking for a quick winter meal this is it, just add some crusty bread!

Ingredients:
1 large onion, chopped
2 russet potatoes, slice very thin (the skin can be left on if you prefer)
4 cups of chopped bite size kale
1 pound mild Italian Sausage
4 minced cloves of garlic
1 cup heavy cream
6 cups of chicken broth

Prep the vegetables. In a pan cook the sausage until it is no longer pink. Add the garlic and onions and cook for 1 minute. Add the broth and potatoes and cook until soft. Add the kale and heavy cream and cook for 10 more minutes until the kale is soft. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

MY TIP: If you prefer a more spicy soup you can use hot sausage instead of mild.
