A rich and creamy one-pot version of Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana soup, featuring spicy Italian sausage, savory beef, tender potatoes, and kale in a flavorful broth, perfect for cozy dinners.

Ingredients

16 ounces spicy Italian sausage

8 slices beef, cooked and crumbled

½ large onion, diced

2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced

28 ounces low-sodium chicken broth

24 ounces water (3 cups)

5 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 cups chopped kale

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Parmesan cheese, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the sausage over medium heat. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. Add the beef to the pot and cook until browned. Remove and crumble.
  3. Sauté the diced onion in the beef drippings until translucent, about 5–6 minutes.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  6. Stir in the sliced potatoes, cooked sausage, and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.
  7. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
  8. Add the chopped kale and simmer for another 5–10 minutes.
  9. Stir in the heavy cream and heat through.
  10. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with crumbled beef and grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Vegetarian Version: Replace sausage and beef with plant-based alternatives and use vegetable broth.
  • Spicy Kick: Increase crushed red pepper flakes or add diced jalapeño for more heat.
  • Creamier Texture: Use half-and-half or whole milk instead of heavy cream for a lighter soup.
  • Additional Vegetables: Add carrots or celery for more flavor and nutrition.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 3–4 days; freeze up to 3 months.
  • Reheat by thawing overnight and warming on stovetop, adding broth or water if needed.
  • Use gluten-free sausage and broth to keep this soup gluten-free.
