Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Soup

"For two years after the first Olive Garden restaurant opened in 1982, operators were still tweaking the restaurants physical appearance and the food that was served. Even the tomato sauce was changed as many as 25 times. Its that sort of dedication that creates fabulous dishes like this soup, which generates tons of cloning requests. It blends the flavors of potatoes, kale, and Italian sausage in a slightly spicy chicken and cream broth. When I first tried the soup at the restaurant, many years ago, I was surprised at how good it was. I'd never had any soup with the leafy, spinach-like kale in it, and the combination of flavors was great. Source: "Top Secret Restaurant Recipes" by Todd Wilbur...."
