A friend raved about this recipe a while back, and I added it to my endless 'to try' list. I was happy to stumble upon it when menu-planning this week because it used several items from our produce pack. I varied it slightly to work with what we had, and all my variations are listed below.
This recipe is intended to be a knock-off of Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana Soup. I've never had the original so I can't vouch for its authenticity, but we really enjoyed it!
1lb sausage, removed from casings (I used Our Compliments Sundried Tomato, because they don't have any wonkie ingredients.)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 small onions, chopped
1 (900ml) carton chicken broth
3 C water
3 new potatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 C canned soy beans, drained and rinsed (measurement totally based on how much was leftover after the kids ate dinner. HA!)
4 cups kale, chopped and loosely packed
salt & pepper, to taste
1 cup cream
Brown the sausage, breaking into small pieces as you go. Drain, if necessary, and set aside. (The kind I suggested are super lean and won't need to be drained.)
In a large pot, sautee onion and garlic in a tiny bit of olive oil until onions are soft. Add broth, water, and potatoes, and cook until the potatoes are done (approximately 10-15 minutes). Add sausage and kale. Simmer for 5-10 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste. Turn off heat, and stir in cream. Allow to rest for several minutes before serving.

I garnished ours with croutons made from the bread included with our produce pack, but it could be served with bread sticks, garlic bread, etc.
Just made this and LOVED it. PB too. PB says to say it was delish. Maybe my new favorite recipe.
