Here is a recipe I found from a website called copykats.com. It's the olive garden potato/sausage/kale soup. I made this at home and was really impressed!! This is definitely something I will make again and again. Below is the recipe as I found it. I hope others who like this soup will enjoy this recipe and hope my notes are helpful.
=============
Ingredients:
1 1/2 C. spicy sausage links -- 12
2 medium potatoes, cut in half lengthwise, and then cut into 1/4" slices
3/4 C. onions, diced
6 slices bacon
1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
2 C. kale leaves, but in half, then sliced
2 T. chicken base
1 qt. water
1/3 C. heavy whipping cream
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place sausage links onto a sheet pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until done; cut in half length-wise, then cut at an angle into 1/2 inch slices.
Place onions and bacon in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until onions are almost clear. Remove bacon and crumble. Add garlic to the onions and cook an additional 1-minute. Add chicken base, water, and potatoes, simmer 15 minutes. Add crumbled bacon, sausage, kale and cream. Simmer 4 minutes and serve. Optional: add half teaspoon of fennel seed.
=========
My variations:
1 pound mild italian sausage (took off casing) & browned in soup pot
5 potatos med. dice
1 onion diced
2 cartons prepared chicken stock (next time will use 3)
1 bunch washed kale (leaves only)
homogenized milk instead of heavy cream (for calorie savings)
precooked bacon (just a small handful)
