Before I got diagnosed with Celiac Disease one of my favorite restaurants was the Olive Garden; I especially loved their “Zuppa Toscana” {Tuscan Soup}. While Olive Garden does now offer some gluten free options, this soup is sadly not one of them. I think we’ve figured out a pretty good alternative!
Zuppa Toscana
Inspired by the popular Olive Garden soup. Pairs great with a side of bread!
SUPPLIES
- 1 Skillet
- 1 Large Pot
Ingredients
- 1 lb sausage
- 1 red onion finely chopped
- 5 slices bacon crumbled
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 6 baby red potatoes ¼" slices
- ½ bunch kale finely chopped
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 3 cubes chicken bouillon
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown sausage in skillet, drain & set aside.
- Add onion, bacon, & garlic to skillet. Cook until onions are clear, then switch contents of skillet to a large pot.
- Slice potatoes {we used our William Sonoma french fry cutter:)} & add to pot with water and bouillon cubes.
- Cover & bring to a boil. Simmer 20-25 minutes, until potatoes are almost done.
- Add remaining ingredients, including the sausage, and simmer for 5-7 more minutes. Serve with bread if desired.
