Zuppa Toscana Soup Recipes

I have never eaten Zuppa Toscana Soup at the Olive Garden so I really can’t say if this Crock Pot Zuppa Toscana Soup recipe is as good as the Zuppa Toscana you can get there.

All I know is this is one of the best crock pot soup recipes I have ever tasted.

My daughter on the other hand who has eaten the Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana soup tells me this Crock Pot Zuppa Toscana recipe tastes better than the Olive Garden version.

I guess you’ll have to make it yourself to find out!

Crock Pot Zuppa Toscana soup is packed full of flavor from the sausage, potatoes, and kale.

It is made extra rich and creamy from the heavy cream.

The red pepper flakes give it a nice spicy kick.

The traditional Zuppa Toscana soup recipe calls for Italian sausage.

I used Italian chicken sausage instead of pork sausage.

You can use whatever type of sausage you prefer.

This Zuppa Toscana soup will taste divine whether you use pork, chicken or turkey sausage.
