10 years later and just want to say this video is awesome for thise who are just learning how to cook. Very helpful video and the soup is delicious. Thank you kindly for not deleting this 🙏
I used to work there and made the soups and sauces daily for over 5 years. This recipe is mostly right on and the most accurate I've found on YT. The only difference I see between this and OG is the Olive Garden recipe calls for garlic puree, they use a chicken base to make a broth and after boiling the potatoes they say to use a potato masher to break up the potatoes before adding the sausage back to the pot.
So instead of adding in the fresh garlic with the onions you substitute it with garlic purée? And once the half moon potatoes have boiled in the broth you take a potato masher to them?
@@cb9018 Just to break the potatoes up you don't want to mash or pulverize them. Then you add the sausage, kale and cream. Yes, that's the "official" way according OG's recipe. If you ask me, fresh is probably going to be better with the right amount but the puree is easier so choose what works for you.
just tried this recipe with my daughter tonight. really simple, one-pot dish. Win Win! It was DELICIOUS! Tastes just like the origional. Thank you so much for posting this! This is my favorite soup in the world. Now I don't have to wait to go out & order it anymore.
to make cutting bacon easier..stick in the freezer for a couple minutes or just use cooking shears to snip it in pieces. Great recipe Im going to try soon
I've tried several Zuppa Toscana recipes and yours is the most flavorful and delicious! If you're looking for a good recipe for this soup, you can stop looking! This is it!
Serving size: 4 to 6 people. Ingredients: 1 lb. pork sausage (spicy if you prefer) 4 - 6 strips of bacon 1 large onion (yellow or white) 5 - 8 cloves of garlic 2 - 3 medium Idaho potatoes 6 - 8 cups of chicken broth 1 - 2 cups of heavy cream 1 bundle of kale 1 - 2 cups heavy cream Optional Ingredients: Red pepper flakes
Just tried this recipe with my mother this afternoon she had her first bowl and she can't stop saying how good it is thank you for posting this recipe I like to try the next one sometime soon great job
I followed your directions and this soup was off the chain. Very simple and to the point and I'm going to make this more often. It also goes along way. I fixed why my mom, dad, sister, and her kids went to my nephews track meet and this house smells like a professional restaurant. I fixed the garlic bread sticks as well. I guess it's good when u didn't even get to get a second bowl out of a huge pot because that means it's good. Glad I could satisfy somebody else's appetite besides mines.
There are many zuppa Tuscana soup recipe on here, but I come to your video every time I make it because you recipe is easy, and it works every time. Also, your video gets straight to the point. Thank you so much!
I made this today for my wife. Zuppa Toscana is her favorite thing on the menu at Olive Garden and she was of course not sure a novice chef such as myself could replicate the recipe. But she LOVED IT. The only thing I did differently was brown the sausage in a separate pan and started with the bacon and onions in the big pot which saved a little cook time. Other than that, follow this recipe and you'll have some perfect Zuppa. Also the third song... I kept singing "Sixth Avenue Heartache" along with it which made the cooking fun!
Just made this SO GOOD!! I didn’t add the sausage. I added parm cheese, and left the bacon out until the end so it stayed crispy and omg safe to safe Olive Garden will miss me🙌🏾😂
That's how I make it, too. I tried it with the bacon but I thought the taste competed with the sausage, instead of complimenting it. I use hot and sweet ital sausage. Every now and then I throw in cannelloni beans. Such a great soup.
Looks like you hit the proverbial nail on the head with one of my all time favorite soups! I think I'm going to make this in my Instant Pot and see how it turns out. Thanks for the video!
Hey, Y'all... Helpful Hillbilly Hint: put the Bacon in the freezer for a bit, and then chop/dice it when it's Semi-Frozen...cuts cleaner without shreds.......
Definitely agree ! After the first time I tried to dice refrigerated bacon, I said "scr#w this"! From that point on, I always popped it into the freezer first for a bit. I do this with a lot of cuts of meat that need to be chopped or thinly sliced prior to cooking.
Hello, I love thus soup from olive garden and now I learn how ti make it with your video Judy. Thank you so much my husband loves this soup you made it simple and good.
I know this video is a little old, but i made this for my man, and now he loves me. He said this will be his cheer-me-up soup 😭 yaaaaas, y’all know I’m trying to get a 💍
Its been years since i first seen your video. I went looking for it and watched all these other ones but yours is so much better. Added to my favorites.❤
This is the only recipe I use is by Judyfoody for Zuppa Tuscana it comes out wonderful every time. I have been making it the way she makes it for years now.
@@VRamirez-8995 cause i have no clue about. It's just not supposed to be done, it doesn't exist in our cuisine. I repeat: I'm from Florence, right in the centre of Tuscany.
Absolutely my favorite soup and I've always wanted to make it at home for my family, you've made the recipe so simple to follow.thanks can't wait to try it!!
Just made this tonight. I've been making this for years. My only favorite soup at Olive Garden. Mines taste just like and even better because of my seasoning. I make mines pretty spot onto this one. I dont keep the skin on the potatoes and I use additional seasonings. I got my copy cat recipe off the internet years ago.
Sept 11, 2020 - the first soup I have ever made in my life and it turned out excellent. Thank you for the recipe and your video. I did pretty much exactly as you did. I added a lot of kale because it compliments the soup so well. I loved the taste. Everything. I wish I could send you a picture because I am not a cook. Tbh, since COVID I have been cooking my own food at home. Mostly rice and ham. This time - I saw an Olive Garden commercial and I thought I want some of that Zuppa Toscana soup. Awesome! Thank you!
It’s the end of 2022 this was the first video I used to make The Soup for the very first time and till this day I still use it in case I forgot a step simple and delicious Thanks
I just tried this recipe and i have to say that i loved everything about it. However i do think it needed salt. So i added seas salt while the sausage was cooking. I made an 8 quart pot and i approximately spend 12 dollars to make it.
Here's Olive gardens actual recipe for this soup: 1. Unload food truck between 6-7AM. 2. Remove frozen soup bags from box using box cutter. 3. Place in boiling water for 5 minutes.
I like to get the bacon sliced first and put it on low heat to start rendering as i prep the veggies. After that i remove the bacon, add the sausage and onion to sautee in some of the bacon grease.. this soup has become one of my top favs to eat.
I made this and It came out sooooo good. My boyfriend keeps asking me to make it again, so I'll be making it this weekend. It's so simple to make and it's very filling. Thanks so much for the receipe.
I made this TONIGHT and it was a home run!!! It was enjoyed by my husband, 6 and 9 years olds, a millennial nephew and my mom. I didn't even need the grated parmesan cheese that I usually have Olive Garden go super heavy in my soup. I made this before but someone else's recipe and it was 90% however something was missing. This time it tasted as if we bought it from Olive Garden.
Made the keto version used spicy turkey sausage and used Chayote squash instead of the potato; it tastes JUST LIKE a potato!! Family loved it! I had leftovers but didn’t follow the extra step and it still was delicious! Thank you!!!!!
This is my favorite soup at olive garden, i always get this so so yummy. Thanks for sharing will definitely make this. Thanks so much for sharing. New friends here
This was perfect, made the mistake of putting sausage and bacon back at the same time... Made the sausage chunks hard and too many onions but husband still loved it!!! So I'll make it again the right way. Thank you for this fan of mine, flavor EXACTLY like the soup I prefer each time... On to the bread sticks and Alfredo!
I’ve ordered this soup many times from Olive Garden and am late to the fair as far as making it myself. I recommend Hot Italian Sausage for those liking a bit of heat. Or the red pepper flakes… This is a recipe that begs for leftovers so add the cream and kale batch-by-batch, as recommended by the author.

I live in Texas and we are currently freezing here! So my hubby wanted this for dinner tonight! We love this recipe 💕

Susie Snowflake same here.... I add a few more ingredients but this is simple n delicious!
Juan Huerta during lunch soup and salad all you can eat for under 8.00
My mom fries the bacon in strips and then crumbles it once it's crispy. Saves the hassle of cutting soft bacon!
Such a good idea. Plus, the taste will be as it should nice and crispy! Thanks for the tip!
I usually freeze how many I need until it's firm enough to cut.
THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO IT!!! SHE'S DOING IT WRONG!!!!
@@panchopistol6897 And what exactly is she doing wrong? Could you tell us a better way of making this soup?
@@mimaberry NO SOUP 🍲 FOR YOU!!!
to make cutting bacon easier..stick in the freezer for a couple minutes or just use cooking shears to snip it in pieces. Great recipe Im going to try soon
Audra Hollis I use my kitchen shears to cut my bacon up before frying works very well

Love this soup! Thanks for the recipe. Lovely for a cold day, especially with bread sticks or french bread.
Just made it! My family loved it. Delicious, dont forget to top with fresh parmesan cheese! 5 stars!

I made this recipe twice now so easy and tastes exactly like the real deal thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Cooked this tonight. Came out exceptionally delicious. Ultimate comfort food. Definitely the best recipe of this soup.
This is my favorite soup, I make it all the time but I don't add bacon and I use Italian sausage.
That's how I make it, too. I tried it with the bacon but I thought the taste competed with the sausage, instead of complimenting it. I use hot and sweet ital sausage. Every now and then I throw in cannelloni beans. Such a great soup.
beautiful day life is good love
@@robinmaynard1640 If the taste of bacon is competing->use less bacon/more sausage to balance it out. Sorry to necro 1 year response :D

Sounds like an o.g employee,been there bro
They have to cook it somewhere though! I love their soups. The Kale goes in fresh also. I used to work there.
Frozen kale soup shelf life is well over 6 months in a deep freezer if you can avoid the tang from freezer burn
My sis worked there for years they have to cook the soup
NO WAY. HAHA
Love the format, your knife work and content!
Will be trying this recipe, thanks!
Y’all! I tried this and my whole family loved it even my picky 4yo 😊 4 thumbs up 👍
