HELPFUL TIPS TO MAKE OLIVE GARDEN® COPYCAT ZUPPA TOSCANA:

• I like to use Russet potatoes in this recipe.  They give it a nice flavor and create the perfect texture.
• If you're not a fan of kale, you can substitute spinach in this recipe.
• We like to cook our bacon in the oven to keep the bacon smell from getting all over the house, but the stove top works too!
• Although the recipe calls for hot Italian sausage, you can cut down on the spice by using mild Italian sausage.
• Thicker soups are preferred at our house, so I smash some of the potatoes before adding the kale.  If you like your soup to have a thinner texture, skip this step.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE OLIVE GARDEN® COPYCAT ZUPPA TOSCANA:

• 4-quart Stock Pot- Great for soups, roasts, frying... I use this all the time.
• Ladle- This is necessary for dishing up soup. Like, how can you even serve soup without one?
• Cheese Grater- As much as I love buying shredded cheese because I'm lazy, fresh grated cheese melts down so much better and creates a smoother soup.

Enjoy!

With love from our simple kitchen to yours.
