Zuppa Toscana Soup

Do you like soup? I do! Do you like zuppa toscana soup like they serve at Olive Garden? I do! This taste just like it, if not better. I made this for the family last week and they all gave it a thumbs up. Tasted even better the next day and helped my sore throat.

Zuppa Toscana Soup adapted from allrecipes.

  • 1 pound bulk mild breakfast sausage sprinkled with Italian seasonings
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 5 (13.75 ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 6 potato, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1/4 bunch fresh kale, tough stems removed

1. Cook the sausage and red pepper flakes in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until crumbly, browned, and no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the onions and garlic in the same pot until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes

3.Pour the chicken broth into the dutch oven with the onion mixture; bring to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes, and boil until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the half and half and the cooked sausage; heat through. Mix the kale into the soup just before serving

Optional- top with grated parmesan cheese.

Random Girl

Tonight I cooked dinner. Yay, go me. It's been a while. We have had so much going on. I made Mexican Zucchini Soup with Cornbread Casserole from allrecipes. Violet surprisingly ate a whole baby bowl full. It's full of vegetables! Doesn't my plate look pretty next to flowers from the wedding?

Early in the day I noticed Violet had a red mark next to her eye. It didn't seem to bother her. By dinner it looked like this (see above). I'm hoping it's just a bug bite or else were visiting the doc soon. She's acting like her usual self. She will pat her eye and say "owie".

Good Soup

We all just ate a bowl of this for dinner. It's Giada's Italian Wedding Soup.

I made the meatballs before hand instead of letting them boil with the soup (eww). Mom, Dad, and Matt kept walking by to get a taste. The meatballs were a mix of ground pork and ground beef with onion & italian parsley. After I formed the balls I baked them in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes then broiled them to get them browned.

The soup part is a cinch to make. I topped it off with a squeeze of lemon juice and parmesan cheese shavings. We made Tom Thumb's Garlic French Bread to dip in the soup.


Violet only ate the broth part of the soup. Silly Girl :)
