Over the weekend, we decided to make our own Olive Garden food at home. I already keep Olive Garden Italian dressing on hand-- it's my favorite by far. I found a recipe online for a crock pot version of Zuppa Tuscana, though slightly modified. And we always keep garlic bread on standby-- as a coupon-er, we always get good deals on pasta, and what good is pasta without garlic bread?! We just used a Spring Mix salad we buy on a regular basis with the dressing. I thought I would share the recipe for Zuppa Tuscana, because it turned out wonderfully and it was super simple to make.
Ingredients
1 lb. ground pork sausage
3/4 c. onion, diced
6 slices bacon, diced
1.25 t. garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 c. potatoes, cut into bite sized pieces
2 c. kale, thinly sliced
3/4 c. whipping cream
Instructions
1. Cook sausage in a large skillet and brown over medium heat.
2. Drain and set aside.
3. Place onion and bacon in the skillet and saute over medium heat until the onions are translucent.
4. Place sausage, onions, bacon and garlic in your crock pot along with remaining ingredients (except for the last two).
5. Cook on low for 4-6 hours.
6. Add your kale and whipping cream to your crock pot and stir before serving.
