Here I am again… offering you another soup recipe!  I originally searched for this recipe to please my dear husband!  His favorite restaurant is Olive Garden and his favorite soup at Olive Garden is the Zuppa Toscana.  I have made this a few different times and each time I have made some adjustments, therefore it has been better and better each time.  Needless to say, Ben loves it and so do my in-laws!  It would be a wonderful soup to make for your family to kick off the New Year!

Ingredients
16 oz SMOKED SAUSAGE
2 POTATOES, cut into 1/4-inch slices
3/4 cup chopped ONION
6 slices BACON
1 1/2 teaspoons minced GARLIC
2 cups KALE, washed, dried and shredded
2 Tablespoons CHICKEN SOUP BASE
1 1/2 quarts WATER
1/3 cup HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM

Directions
Cook your sausage depending on what kinds of sausage you have (I have used ground sausage and browned it.  I have also used smoked sausage links and cooked them in water on the stove and then removed them from the casing.  Both work but it tends to be less greasy with the links then with the ground sausage). Set aside.

Place onions and bacon in a pot and cook over medium heat until onions are almost clear.  Remove bacon.  Add garlic to the onions and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.  Add water, soup base, and potatoes.  Simmer 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.

Crumble bacon and add to pot, along with sausage, kale, and cream.  Simmer 4 more minutes and serve.
