Italian-style Sausage Soup with Kale (or Escarole, Swiss Chard, or Spinach)


It's sure not much to look at, but I had to share this recipe, it's one of the best rustic-style soups I've tasted ~ it's really chunky and full of flavor and substantial enough to serve as a meal.

If you do an internet search you'll find various variations of Italian Sausage soups; this one is often described as being very similar to The Olive Garden's "Toscana" soup ~ I'm not sure about that as I've never tried OG's Toscana soup, but if you have maybe you can let me know if it is similar or not.

It's difficult to believe a homemade soup with such amazing flavor can be made in about a half hour. I tweaked the recipe just a little from the original, and if you'd like a printable copy I've posted it over on the OUaP recipe site along with the few changes I made.

If you try it I hope you like it as much as I do.

Have a wonderful day, friends!  ~m.
