Love this copycat recipe for Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana Soup – tastes exactly like the real thing!
Zuppa Toscana Soup
Many years ago, my little brother found a recipe for Zuppa Toscana soup from Olive Garden. This soup is a family favorite whenever we visit Olive Garden and is something we all look forward to. After a few tweaks I think this soup tastes just like the real thing.
My older sister sends me a box of organic produce once a month. Last week it arrived and had a gorgeous bunch of kale in it and I knew just what to make. This is the perfect meal for a cool fall or winter day – sure to warm up your belly!
Directions:
Crumble the sausage onto a baking sheet. Bake the sausage in the oven at 300 degrees for about 30 minutes or until no longer pink. Place on paper towels to drain.
Cook the bacon and crumble into small pieces. I baked my bacon. Slice the potatoes between 1/8″ and 1/4″. I used the thick setting on my mandoline. Just make the slices about the same size so they cook evenly. Dice up the onion and mince the garlic. Throw the potatoes, onion, garlic, chicken broth, and water into a large pot on medium heat until the potatoes are cooked through.
Prepare the kale by chopping into bite sized pieces. Kale is wonderful for soups because it holds up to the heat so well. It’s also delicious! Add the sausage, bacon, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Soup
Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian Sausage spicy if you prefer more heat
- 5-7 slices of bacon
- 5 medium russet potatoes
- 2 cups kale chopped
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 qt water
- 28 oz chicken broth
- ½ large onion
- 2-3 cloves of garlic minced
- 2 tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Crumble the sausage onto a baking sheet. Bake the sausage in the oven at 300 degrees for about 30 minutes or until no longer pink. Place on paper towels to drain.
- Cook the bacon and crumble into small pieces. I baked my bacon. Slice the potatoes between ⅛ inch and ¼ inch thick. I used the thick setting on my mandolin. Just make the slices about the same size so they cook evenly. Dice up the onion and mince the garlic. Throw the potatoes, onion, garlic, chicken broth, and water into a large pot on medium heat until the potatoes are cooked through.
- Prepare the kale by chopping into bite sized pieces. Kale is wonderful for soups because it holds up to the heat so well. It’s also delicious!
- Add the sausage, bacon, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- During this time the potatoes will start breaking apart into smaller bite sized pieces because they are so tender. Turn the heat to low and add in the kale and heavy cream. Let the soup heat through and serve. We like to serve this soup with some grated Parmesan cheese on top. Delicious!

Super yummy! Will definitely make again!
I used grass fed stew beef, also pureed 1 1/2 cups cooked cauliflower with broth from soup, along with some milk & cream. Also baked cut potatoes with olive oil & seasoning prior to brown them prior to adding to soup.
Sandra says
Hi this recipe sounds heavenly, I live in UK, not sure whether I can buy Italian sausage meat, can I ask if Italian sausage is a spicy pork sausage? Or could you suggest an alternative please, I know my family will love this soup.
Many thanks
Sandra
Melissa Kelly says
Yes. I use hot Italian sausage because it tastes really good and adds more flavor.

Can this be cooked than frozen?
Fashion Rapture says
I made this and it turned out AWESOME. I added a little more red pepper flakes than Olive Garden and used mild sausage because I like it spicy. My boyfriend was so impressed! 🙂 Thanks!!
Rachel says
How one can resist consuming the entire pot of heaven is beyond me!
Cheryl says
Hello, what is the serving size for this soup?
Sabrina says
I know this recipe is older but I have had in pinned forever. It is amazing!!!! I am literally going to delete every other copy cat recipe I have for it. So so good and tastes just like theirs!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thank you SO much Sabrina! I’m glad you finally gave it a try 🙂
Morgan says
Could this also work in a crock pot??
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I have been working on that very thing and the answer is yes, it totally can.
Hanna says
This soup is so delicious! It’s better than Olive Garden’s version. I make this quite often for my husband, since he requests it constantly. He’s in love with it! Thank you so so so much for this recipe! 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
So, SO glad you enjoy the recipe Hanna – thank you!
Rachel says
I tried this tonight. It was fantastic. I had to cut it in half because it was just me eating it. So yummy. Glad I made it. 🙂
Shelbey says
My husband and I live in Australia where he is from but I am american and love to stay true to all that delicious food that we have in America. I am currently 3 and a half months pregnant and have been CRAVING Olive Garden. I made this soup tonight to surprise my hubby as he loves it too and oh. my. goodness. It tastes exactly like the one at Olive Garden. Thank you for saving my craving sanity!!!! It makes me feel like I’m at home visiting family and friends. I pair it with my favorite interest recipe I found of Olive Garden Breadsticks and we are in Heaven. Thank you again!!! xx

I love your version of this recipe! I’ve made it at least a dozen times now. I thought I’d add that it freezes nicely too.
Kate@Diethood says
OMG! LOVE THIS! Awesome recipe!!
Jennifer says
this is my mom’s favorite soup and she has to eat gluten free now. how hard would it be to make this gluten free?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I’m not 100% sure. You would need to buy gluten-free sausage because I’m pretty sure sausage has gluten in. The rest of the ingredients just check the packaging to make sure they specify gluten free. Good luck!
Sara says
Love it! Little too spicy for my son, but I loved the kick that the red pepper flakes gave the soup. A definite do again for me and my hubby. Thanks for sharing.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That’s wonderful Sara! Thanks for stopping by!

Cammy Rigby says

Great! Thanks Cammy!
Eden says
I made this soup for a potluck lunch at work and my co-workers loved it! It tastes just like the one at Olive Garden! I used spicy italian sausage but only one tbs of red pepper flakes since my colleagues cant handle the heat. I shared your website with everyone since it was such a hit! Thank you for this awesome recipe!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thank you SO much Eden – just made my day 🙂 And thanks for sharing my site with your coworkers – love that!!
Danielle says
I Have to say that when I found this pinned on pinterest, I was so excited. I just finished making it and ate it with my family…. I am rather disappointed, it didn’t taste even close to the OG’s version. I’ll be making it again with this recipe as a base and changing some things to hopefully satisfy my craving for this yummy OG soup.
Thank you for posting the recipe though!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I’m glad you’re going to try again with some changes as suits your family Danielle. Good luck and thanks for stopping by!
Pyper says
I can’t wait to try this tonight. Question – if I use bacon crumbles, how much should I use? I have no idea how many 507 slices of bacon makes. Thank you!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That’s a great question! I would guess about 1/2 cup Pyper! Let me know what you think 🙂
Pyper says
I ended up just using bacon. It was delicious!! Thanks for a great recipe. My hubby and my kids loved it. But next time I will try the bacon crumbles. And I think you’re correct – a 1/2 c. should be about right.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
So glad it worked out for you Pyper!
Nicole W says
I moved to The Netherlands 8 years ago and I miss Olive Garden Soups soooo much when I saw a friend of mine pin this IT was a no brainer to try it. I made this tonight and IT was Amazing!!! THANK YOU so much for this!! My picture did not look as lovely as the one on here, it was amazing anyway. I loved it so much! I KNOW I said that more then once but OMG! 😀
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I loved reading your comment Nicole 🙂 I am SO glad you enjoyed the recipe! It’s a family favorite of ours FOR SURE. So glad you stopped by!
lydia d says
I make this soup a lot, my recipe is similar but I’ve been making it for years and have perfected it! One of the things I do is brown my onions and garlic in a little butter or olive oil first, then cook the sausage in that, then drain all the oil very well, Next I add my water and potatoes and let that boil until the potatoes are soft. I add quite a bit of parmesan cheese to the soup as it is cooking and it gives it AMAZING flavor. I add the cream and kale last. I use chicken bouillon instead of broth:)
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Ooh that sounds so good Lydia – thanks for sharing!
Rachael E Howard says
So So So Good.

Tiffany says
Hi! This is going to sound really dumb if someone’s already asked, but what size cans of broth do you use. I’m absolutely terrible at “winging” recipes; the very thought tends to leave me in a cold sweat. My boyfriend just loves this soup, and I would really like to make it for him.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That’s a great question Tiffany! They are 14 oz cans – just updated the recipe too! Thank you 🙂 So glad you’re giving this a try – you really can’t mess it up!
pmarieoc says
low fat options, evaporated 2% canned milk… all the creaminess less than a quarter of the calories and spicy italian turkey sausage…. lean and low fat! been making this version for a couple of year atleast once a week for some picky teenagers. i never have leftovers even though the recipe is doubled! good stuff!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Those are some seriously awesome substitutions – can’t wait to give them a try! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Zipzish says
My recipe is pretty much the same except I use skim milk. It works just as well. I did the cream the first couple of times, then wanted to make it one day and had everything but the cream, so I used the skim milk and liked it better. It also drops the calorie count significantly.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That’s great Karen! I’ve tried it that way too a couple of times just to cut out calories but I really do prefer it with a little cream 😉

How many servings does this make?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
6 servings Lora – thanks!
Jordan Breeden says
This was delicious! Taste just like the restaurant. The only thing that I would suggest to anyone is not to use as much red pepper IF you are not a spicy person. Mine was a bit too hot for my taste. I also suggest a little garlic powder for taste! But I did love it! Thank you for sharing!
Donna says
It really did taste identical. I loved it and will be making this very frequently. Thank you very much for sharing it.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
You are so welcome Donna! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe!
Kristin G says
This is AMAZING!!! I doubled the recipe because we have a bigger family (well… 5 people, but two teens) and it is exactly like olive gardens version! I’m SO happy I found this recipe thanks to my good friend!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe Kristin! Have a great week!
paola says
YUM! Soo good! Just made it right now. I chose spicy sausage so I opted out the pepper flakes. Love the texture of the kale in this soup. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Brittney Brown says
Can I use regular whipping cream instead of heavy?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Yep. I’ve even used half & half. It just cuts down on the richness 🙂
Jen says
I’ve never eaten Kale, could I use spinach as a sub?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Kale is great and it holds up really well in this soup. Spinach would get soggy and doesn’t have the same flavor at all. Try to give kale a try first 🙂
Mary Jane says
I use spinach all the time. It’s wonderful. I also use twice the amount it calls for because I like the added veggies.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Excellent! We like to double the kale too 🙂
leah says
i just used this recipe and doubled it and can i say how great it came out thank you !
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Lisa! My hubby has been bugging me to make it again soon…on my list for next week 🙂
Carrie says
fabulous!
I made the soup leaving bacon out (forgot it) and it was still great!
Thanks for sharing!
Sandra says
So I saw this on pinterest and about had a heart attack. This is my FAV dish at Olive Garden which is my FAV restaurant but I moved to a new city and they don’t have one here 🙁 :'( So you can imagine I was SUPER excited!
So I made it last night with my boyfriend! Turned out FANTASTIC! Although the 2 tsp red pepper flakes (like i’ve seen others post) was a bit much for me… boyfriend loved it… it was at my max haha but it was still a success! I LOVED it 😀 Thank you so much for posting this!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I am SO glad you enjoyed the soup Sandra! Maybe next time cut the red pepper flakes to 1 tsp. Thank you so much for letting me know 🙂 Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
DeidraJ says
You’ve forgotten the secret ingredients that give it it’s distinct flavor. About 2 tbsp of balsamic vinegar and a tsp or two of vanilla. Finish with a 1/4 stick of butter. You’ll be amazed, I promise. If you’re squeamish about it, put a bowl to the side add a little balsamic and vanilla and you’ll see. I hope u let us know what you think. 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I’ll definitely give it a try Deidra but I think this recipe tastes EXACTLY like the original 🙂
Michelle W. says
Delicious soup!
I experimented a little and found that you can use Oscar Meyer bacon bits and get the same flavor with a little more ease!
Thanks for sharing the awesome recipe!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
My little brother does that now too! Anything to make it a little easier right? Thanks for stopping by Michelle!

Jackie says
My family thought 2 tsp of red pepper flakes was too spicy. Other than that it was amazing! Will be making again, probably cut back to 1/2 or 1 tsp. Thank you for sharing!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Thank you Jackie! I totally agree that the spice is a personal thing – my husband is half Peruvian so we like things a little more spicy than most 😉 Merry Christmas!
Amy says
I made this tonight, and it was the perfect soup for a cold night! I even used italian turkey sausage and fat free half & half, and it was delicious. I let it simmer on low for an extra 30 minutes, just to let the flavors combine, and it was a hit! It is going to be a winter staple in our home 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Ooh! I’ve never tried it with turkey sausage before – good call! I’ll have to try that for my next batch. So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for stopping by!

I’ve been making this soup for some time…..love it. I don’t use heavy cream. I sub. half and half tastes great.
Anonymous says
Just made this and finished eating it, and I have to say… I cannot stop raving about how good this is!!! So much like olive garden and absolutely delicious. Two things, one, I didn’t really measure the chicken stock or heavy cream, just added what I thought was appropriate for the taste and two I accidentally added the bacon crumbles in with the the potatoes and onions but I think it added a lot of extra flavor. Served with garlic bread for an incredible dinner. Thank you so much for is recipe!!!

I can’t wait to try it! We avoid dairy, so I’ll do my “trademark” substitution of half unsweetened coconut milk / half almond milk – I think it’ll be amazing. Thanks! (found this recipe on Pinterest 🙂 )

Hey Trish was wondering about the pepper flakes. Is that just pizza red pepper flakes stuff or something totally different? I looked and looked and couldn’t find it otherwise.

I made this for my family and they were SO impressed. It was a little spicy so next time I will probably use less red pepper but even with that it was super good and will become a regular recipe for me.
Lindsey says
My husband and I made this for dinner this evening and it was fabulous! We personally thought that the ratio of sausage to potatoes was off and next time we will double the potatoes and put half of the sausage. We might add a bit more bacon as well, but that could all be personal preference. Loved the taste! Thanks 🙂
