Default Zuppa Toscana - Deeeelicious!!

Okay I know soup recipes should go into the soups catagory BUT this soup is more like a meal.. MY hubby loves the Zuppa Toscana from Olive garden so I recreated my own lo carb version by omitting the potato's.....

1 package of spicy italian sausage
6 slices of bacon
1 half onion chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
1 big bunch of Kale
1 49 1/2 oz. can chicken broth + 3 cups more broth
3/4 cup heavy cream

remove sausage from casings
brown sausage set aside
brown bacon remove to papertowel
add onions to bacon drippings saute until soft
add garlic saute for 1 min
pour in chicken stock
bring to boil
add clean chopped Kale
boil about 5 mins
add sausage and bacon
lower heat
add heavy cream
pepper and salt to taste

Im not sure of the cal/ or carb count but most of the ingrediants are pretty lo in carbs and this soup is very filling and decadent!

There's a similar recipe here that uses cauliflower. It's really good, too.

Soup is ready and is definitely delish!! I added turnips when I added the Kale and it's perfect. I cut the turnips into small chunks so I didn't need to give them extra attention. Thanks again, YUM

I finally got around to making a pot of this last night. The whole family enjoyed it! I had to use spinach since I couldn't find kale in WalMart or Winn Dixie. I'll definitely be making this again!
