My family and friends love this soup because it reminds them of the one at Olive Garden! This soup really begs for a fresh loaf of Kalamata olive bread or garlic clove bread from your kitchen or local bakery. Don't forget the sweet cream unsalted butter to go with that.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This creamy potato and Italian sausage soup is a copycat of Zuppa Toscana from a popular Italian restaurant chain. it's a creamy and hearty soup full of spicy sausage and chunks of potatoes. There is a slight kick, but we wouldn't say it's overly spicy. It's easy enough to throw together when you want something warm and comforting on a cool day.
