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 the

ir 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 flav

orful.

Slow Cooker Zuppa Toscana Soup

Ingredient

s: 

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 sau

sage (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 k

ale (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 d

o 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!
