Subj : Dago Alley - 05 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Fri Mar 24 2023 04:16:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana (Copycat) Categories: Pork, Potatoes, Greens, Dairy Yield: 6 servings 1/2 lb Italian pork sausage 1 md Onion; fine chopped 2 ts Chicken bouillon granules 1/2 ts Garlic powder 1/2 ts Pepper 2 md Red potatoes; in 1/2" dice 2 c Sliced fresh kale 3 c Milk 1 c Heavy whipping cream 1 tb Cornstarch 1/4 c Cold water Crumbled cooked bacon In a large stockpot, brown the Italian sausage over medium heat for 4-6 minutes or until no longer pink. As the sausage cooks, break it up into crumbles. When the sausage is brown, remove it from the pot to a towel-lined plate to drain. Leave about 1 tablespoon of fat in the stockpot. Add the finely chopped onion to the same pot with the reserved fat and saute until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Return the sausage to the pot. Next, add the chicken bouillon granules, garlic powder, pepper, cubed red potatoes and fresh kale. Stir to combine. Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream, and bring the mixture to a boil. Then reduce the heat and let the soup simmer, covered, for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. While the soup simmers, whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water until smooth. Once the potatoes are tender, stir the cornstarch mixture ("slurry") into the soup. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until the soup thickens. Serve immediately, topped with crumbled bacon.
