I bet you have finished a bowl of the Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Soup and wondered if you could make this soup. You can make your Zuppa Toscana taste just like the Olive Gardens soup recipe. Potatoes, Italian sausage, kale, onions, bacon, and cream make for a delicious and hearty soup. You don’t have to get a babysitter, or even leave your house to have soup just like Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana.

October 2, 2018 at 9:32 amI love this recipe! I add a lot of spices top pick up the flavor…and change the broth to rich beef broth! The beet broth adds great flavor. I added sliced sausages and ground beef, 1/4 stick of butter, onions, green and red peppers, lots of kale…and a large can of stewed tomatoes. Lots of cayenne and hot pepper. I added the heavy cream at the end. WOW!! Fantastic flavor!

April 19, 2019 at 6:35 amNot Zuppa Toscana but probably good. FYI I won’t be trying it as I came here for the actual ZT recipe. Maybe post this recipe on like allrecipes.com with a name of your choosing?

May 22, 2018 at 1:28 pmI have made this before and it tastes just like the real thing. I do leave out the onion since I am allergic though. Next time I am going to try it with almond milk instead of cream since I also have a dairy allergy.
laura says
April 19, 2019 at 6:37 amHow were you even able to eat the real thing with your allergies? Must have been very uncomfortable. Glad to see you found a work around.

January 11, 2017 at 3:02 pmWow, I don’t remember it having bacon in it?
Stephanie says
January 15, 2017 at 7:08 amYears ago it did contain bacon, when I say years ago, I would guess this recipe on their part changed about 15 years ago or so. I am guessing this did this to remove expense from the recipe.

November 8, 2014 at 4:57 pmThis was on the menu tonight with fresh ingredients from the Amish market and it was wonderful. LOL I didn’t mind cooking for my birthday. I did it according to the written directions since the video wouldn’t download in the market. Browning the sausage was a great idea. I used 1/2 hot Italian sausage and 1/2 sweet Italian chicken sausage. The only thing I think I’d do differently is to saute the onions and potatoes in some of the bacon grease along with the garlic. Thank you. Just a note . . . it’s pronounced TSOO-pah or ZOO-pah. Don’t worry, I only know this because I’ve lived in Italy. – Kim

December 20, 2015 at 7:30 amThank you for your wonderful comments. I appreciate you telling me how to pronounce it properly. The thing with video is it lasts forever 😉 I can’t go back and fix it without a re-shoot 😉
laura says
April 19, 2019 at 6:41 amI tried your recipe…wonderful! Soo good. The video worked for me btw. 😀

February 16, 2014 at 5:01 pmAll the ingredients are there. It isn’t necessary to measure the potatoes, bacon, sausage etc. Your salt, pepper and garlic may be more critical, but adjust according to your taste. I like to make it richer with more heavy cream, plus make it a little heartier by not skimping on the other ingredients to make each spoonful have more solids in it. The additional cream kicks it up 2 notches from the soup in the restaurant.

February 16, 2014 at 4:46 pmWe make ours a little richer by using a little more heavy cream.. This recipe is dead on.
stephaniemanley says
February 16, 2014 at 5:33 pmHeavy cream makes many things better.

Stephanie says
June 6, 2016 at 4:42 amThank you for your nice comment. Going out to eat can be expensive, and honestly, I think we often cook the food better at home. We get the chance to add love ;). Let me know if there something you would like to see.
