CROCKPOT ZUPPA TOSCANA: Easy Recipe for the Most Delicious Italian Sausage, Potato & Kale Soup

    There’s nothing like a hot bowl of soup to warm you up on a cold winter day, and this Crockpot Zuppa Toscana is perfect for that. It’s a creamy potato soup with Italian sausage and kale that is so hardy and delicious, you’ll actually want to eat it year-round! I’m sure you’ve seen other Olive Garden Copycat recipes out there, but THIS one, in my opinion, is the very best. Read on for the full recipe.

    Crockpot Zuppa Toscana

    6 large potatoes, cut in bite-size cubes
    1 lb. ground hot Italian sausage
    1 bunch fresh kale, cut bite-size
    1/2 white onion, chopped
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    32 oz. chicken broth
    16 oz. heavy cream
    1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
    salt & pepper to taste

    Cook sausage in a frying pan until brown. Add in chopped onion & garlic and continue frying until onion is translucent. Transfer sausage mixture into crockpot and set to Low. Add potatoes and chicken broth and continue to cook on Low for 5-6 hours. Pour in heavy cream, kale, and parmesan cheese and mix well. Season with salt and pepper, and allow to cook another 30 minutes, until kale is tender.

    1. Yea she put too much cheese its not a cheese soup. With cream in the soup extra cheese is not needed cause of the cream Its italian soup not a cheese soup !

    2. I've made this many times. If you cook a pack of bacon ( add half after potatoes and a sprinkle on top of finished ) it makes a world of difference. Also add cracked pepper too after potatoes (omg) fantastic. I also use mild Italian sausage and add crushed red pepper flakes so i can adjust the spiciness. Thank you for sharing

    3. This is an excellent recipe. I chop up some bacon and add about 1/2 pound of bacon to this recipe. I also don't peel the potatoes, just scrubbed and washed, then cut up into small chunks. I noticed that the poster locks the lid on the crockpot. This should NOT be done while cooking. The ONLY time you lock the lid is when transporting it.

    4. I made this soup and it’s Delicious I added some crushed red pepper flakes to make it a little more spicy my whole family loved it TY

    5. I had bone-in ham leftovers, so I threw it in the crockpot, covered with water to make a stock, and added some chicken bouillon. I made hot Italian sausage from ground turkey and followed your recipe for the rest. A couple hours left but the broth tastes AMAZING!! Can't wait to try it out 😁

    6. I've been making a variation on this for years, but it's been slipping in our opinion of it. This and another video has the kale being added later — we add it first. Going to try putting it in last, next time. My wife also only uses one potato — our Irish ancestors are crying! Still, I think six may be too many? The most I have used was four. I like to use at least 2, 3 if they're smaller. Also, I use bacon, but I've been reading that the original recipe doesn't include it, and that may be making it more greasy than it should be.

      Also, I love that fish turner you use. I use one very similar to it. I got the idea from my mother's kitchen, she had a very old one and after moving out, I felt something was missing in my own kitchen. Went to visit and saw it, and realized immediately. Many years later, I saw she no longer had hers. She said it got old, she had to throw it out, and no store carries it anymore. I immediately opened my Amazon app and ordered her the same two (they come like that) that I bought. Neither of us cook fish, but it's so good for so many things. Way more useful than a straight flipper/turner or bowl scraper, due to the angle. Also, I'm glad someone else mentioned locking the slow cooker — it isn't a pressure cooker. My wife does the same thing and refuses to change. It hasn't hurt anything. There is a vent on the lid. I think we have the same slow cooker, too.
