I first tried this soup at Olive Garden and you all know how much I love a good copycat recipe that I can make at home! This one is no exception. <\/p>\n<p>In fact, not only can you make this soup at home but you can make it into an entire Olive Garden meal! I have recipes for <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/olive-garden-breadsticks\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Copycat Olive Garden Breadsticks<\/a> and also the classic <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/copycat-olive-garden-salad\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Copycat Olive Garden Salad<\/a>. So stay at home and save some money. Not only is this a simple recipe to make but I think it\u2019s even better than the original! <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ingredients-to-make-zuppa-toscana\">Ingredients to Make Zuppa Toscana<\/h2>\n<p>This soup is simple to make and doesn\u2019t use a ton of ingredients. Make it on the stove or in a slow cooker (instructions below) and you will be making this over and over this winter season! <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chicken broth: <\/strong>This adds a lot of flavor to the base of the soup. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy Cream:<\/strong>\u00a0Heavy cream is a must to make a heavy, thick base for the soup. It helps soak up the potatoes and adds bold flavoring.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Italian Sausage: <\/strong>Depending on the sausage that you use, this can have a little bit of a kick. Keep that in mind and get mild Italian sausage if you aren\u2019t crazy about heat. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Bacon: <\/strong>When combined with the sausage, the bacon<strong> <\/strong>is so delicious! <\/li>\n<li><strong>Russet Potatoes: <\/strong>When you are cutting these into cubes, try to keep them uniform in size. That way, they will cook evenly. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion: <\/strong>The onion adds so much flavor. You can use a white or a yellow onion. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic Cloves: <\/strong>If you don\u2019t have fresh garlic cloves, then you can use minced garlic. 1\/2 teaspoon equals about 1 clove. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Spinach or Kale:<\/strong>\u00a0This adds color, texture, and a great flavoring to the Zuppa Toscana soup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt\u00a0and Pepper: <\/strong>Just a dash for taste!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-zuppa-toscana\">How to Make Zuppa Toscana<\/h2>\n<p>There are a few steps to take to prepare this Zuppa Tuscana soup but they are simple and let me tell you\u2026 this soup is worth every step!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Cook your meats:\u00a0<\/strong>Cook and crumble the bacon. Set aside on a plate lined with a paper towel. Cook the sausage and set aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare your potatoes:\u00a0<\/strong>Skin each potato and slice in half and make about 1\/4 inch slices. You can slice these into fourths making the potatoes more bite sized.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Boil\u00a0your\u00a0potatoes:\u00a0<\/strong>Bring a large pot with the chicken broth to a boil. Boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes or until tender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saut\u00e9:\u00a0<\/strong>While the potatoes are boiling, saut\u00e9 the onion and garlic until tender and set aside.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine\u00a0ingredients together: <\/strong>Once potatoes are tender, add sausage, onion, garlic, and chopped spinach to the pot. Boil for a couple of minutes until the spinach starts to wilt. Reduce heat and add heavy cream.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cook: <\/strong>Finish by cooking\u00a0until heated through and add salt and pepper to taste.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" alt=\"4 pictures showing step by step how to make creamy Zuppa Toscana soup. \" class=\"wp-image-232952\" title=\"Creamy Zuppa Toscana is a savory Italian soup that is made with potatoes, spicy\u00a0sausage, bacon, and kale.

It will last in your fridge for 2 to 3 days.<\/li>\n<li><b>Freezer: <\/b>If you plan on freezing this soup, I recommend leaving out the potatoes and kale and adding that in just before serving. Cook the soup (without the potatoes and kale) and store the soup in a ziplock bag (don\u2019t forget to label it with the date!) for about one month. <\/li>\n<li><strong>To Reheat: <\/strong>If you are reheating from frozen, thaw the soup overnight in the freezer. Just before serving, add in cooked potatoes and kale and cook on the stove over medium-low heat. Once the kale starts to wilt, it\u2019s ready to serve.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-leftovers-callout__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-leftovers-callout --><\/p>\n<section class=\"block-post-listing cwp-large layout-4up-grid\">\n<header>\n<p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-delicious-soup-recipes\">More Delicious Soup Recipes <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"block-area block-area-before-recipe\">\n<div class=\"block-pinterest-cta cwp-large\">\n<p class=\"block-pinterest-cta__title\">Pin this now to find it later<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/creamy-zuppa-toscana\/&amp;media=https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/creamy-zuppa-toscano-1.jpg&amp;description=Creamy Zuppa Toscana Soup\" title=\"Share on Pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"wp-element-button\" data-postid=\"6111\" data-pin-do=\"none\" data-social-network=\"Pinterest\" data-social-action=\"Pin\" data-social-target=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/creamy-zuppa-toscana\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Pin It<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-71206\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"71206\" data-servings=\"10\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-cwp-food\">\n<div class=\"cwp-food-content\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions-container wprm-recipe-71206-instructions-container wprm-block-text-normal\" data-recipe=\"71206\">\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction-group\">\n<ul class=\"wprm-recipe-instructions\">\n<li id=\"wprm-recipe-71206-step-0-0\" class=\"wprm-recipe-instruction\" style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<p><span style=\"display: block;\">Cook the bacon for 5 minutes and crumble it.
