Zuppa Toscana Soup~ Anjolee

This is like the one at Olive Garden

Ingredients

1 lb. Italian Sausage
4-5 medium sized potatoes (I like reds)
Diced Ham (can substitute crumbled bacon)
8 oz heavy whipping cream
32 oz. chicken broth
1 1/2 cups fresh kale
1 qt. water
onion
garlic salt

Wash and dice potatoes. Leave skin on. Put potatoes chicken broth and water in large pot on to boil.

Brown sausage with diced onion. When sausage is almost done add diced ham. You can buy a package of small diced ham and I'd use about half of it. I usually dice up about 4 slices of Hormel smoked ham lunch meat. Brown ham just a little. Add sausage and ham to potatoes. When potatoes are almost done, add whipping cream. Garlic salt to taste.

Shred kale. Add at the end. When kale is soft serve soup. Great with breadsticks.
