This soup is everyone’s favorite soup. I cannot serve it to anyone without being begged for the recipe. It’s your favorite Olive Garden Copycat recipe for Zuppa Toscana<\/strong>! This is a slightly smaller batch, made in a small dutch oven to make 3-4 bowls of soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Zuppa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve never been delighted by a creamy soup with chunks of sausage, bacon and potatoes, then you aren’t living the way the rest of us are living. The rest of us are hitting Olive Garden and going hard on the endless soup, salad and breadstick meal combo with multiple servings of their Zuppa Toscana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This soup should really be in your arsenal because it contains so few ingredients, and is so easy to pull together. It is the only soup you need for winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A homemade recipe is in order, because we cannot always get a table at the restaurant. My recipe for Zuppa Toscana is slightly smaller batch; it makes 4 bowls of soup. You can always double this recipe (or even triple it!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I only eat a small amount of meat occasionally, I hardly ever combine more than one meat in a recipe. It feels weird enough eating one animal, but two? (Except for this Beef Bourguignon<\/span><\/a> where the bacon coats the beef! Oh, and this Coq au Vin<\/span><\/a>, too). Maybe I have a thing for bacon?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, a friend insisted that the copycat Olive Garden recipes for Zuppa Toscana soup on Pinterest were amazing. So, I tried a few. I can’t deny that I moaned upon first bite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Zuppa Toscana?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What’s not to love? It’s a creamy potato soup bolstered by sausage. It’s like a bowl of twice baked potatoes with spicy sausage mixed in. The broth is cream-based, but actually feels light because it’s cut with chicken broth. In short, this soup is the only soup you need for winter. Don’t forget the kale, because if something has kale, it’s healthy and justifies the bacon, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn’t think I was going to stir in the crisp bacon at the end, but I’m so glad I did!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
