Slow Cooker Zuppa Toscana Soup

(All posts may contain affiliate links and/or sponsored content. Please see my disclosure policy)

I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite comfort foods when I am stressed or tired is a big bowl of soup. One of my favorite soups is from Olive Garden. Have you tried their Zuppa Toscana Soup? It is so creamy, rich and delicious! Zuppa Toscana Soup can easily be made right in your own home using your slow cooker! There are many varieties of this soup, but I have found that making it in the slow cooker is not only the easiest, but most flavorful.

Slow Cooker Zuppa Toscana Soup

Ingredients: 

4-5 slices pre-cooked bacon (you can also use bacon and cook it on your own, but I love the quickness that the pre-cooked variety offers.

1 48-oz. carton chicken broth

1 cup water

1/2 cup diced yellow onion (this will be around 1/2 an onion)

1 lb. cooked pork sausage (I used Jimmy Dean, but any brand will work-you can also use Italian if you prefer)

1 pint heavy whipping cream

4 russet potatoes sliced into rounds

3 cups chopped kale (remove the stems)

1 tbsp. diced garlic

freshly grated parmesan

salt/pepper for taste

Directions:

Fry sausage in a non stick skillet. Halfway through the cooking process add the onion and garlic. Drain off any excess fat that you may have.

Add in the pre-cooked bacon to sausage mixture. (If you are cooking your bacon do it separately from this step then add in)

Transfer sausage mixture into the slow cooker.

Add in the chicken broth, potatoes, salt/pepper.

Cook on low for 5-6 hours.

Add in the chopped kale and heavy cream and stir until combined.

Cook an additional 45 minutes on low or until kale is tender.

Serve with grated parmesan and enjoy! We love to have this with crusty bread to dip into the soup! Yum!

Heart Shaped Cinnamon Rolls

(All posts may contain affiliate links and/or sponsored content. Please see my disclosure policy)

Valentine’s Day is almost here! I love this day as it is such a fun time to share our love for all of our family and friends. Who can resist sharing their love and affection with sweet treats and baked goods? You will especially be loved after you serve these adorable Heart Shaped Cinnamon Rolls! They are not only super easy to make, but you will be a rockstar with your kiddos if you serve these on Valentine’s Day morning!

Heart Shaped Cinnamon Rolls

Ingredients: 

2 Cans Cinnamon Rolls. (Be sure to buy the ones that can be rolled out. Most store brands and the large Pillsbury Grands should work)

​Valentine Sprinkles (there are some great options HERE)

Additional colored icings- this is optional

Instructions: 

Pre-Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Unroll the Cinnamon Rolls.

Take both corners of the Cinnamon Rolls and start rolling them to the middle. Once you reach the middle, pinch the bottom to make a point. Make sure to pinch together really good so that the dough will stay together when baking. 

Cook for 8-10 minutes. The Cinnamon Rolls cook rather quickly when rolled like a heart, so keep an eye out for them!

Once the Cinnamon Rolls have finished baking and have fully cooled, you can start frosting and decorating. Use various kinds of sprinkles and other colored frosting if wanted to decorate as you wish. 

Serve and Enjoy!
