Toscana Soup

This soup is Cameron's favorite, it is very similar to the Olive Garden Potato and Sausage Soup.


Ingredients:

3 links sweet Italian sausage
2 medium baking potatoes, cut in half lengthwise
2 to 3 slices bacon, diced
3/4 cup onions, diced
1 medium to large clove garlic, minced
2 cups kale, cut in half, then sliced
2 tablespoons chicken base
4 cups water
1/2 cup whipping cream


Directions:

Remove sausage from casings; brown in skillet, breaking up until cooked through.
Place onions and bacon in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until onions are tender. Add garlic and cook 1 minute longer.

In a crockpot chicken base, water and potatoes. Simmer until potatoes are tender, usually an hour and a half or so on high heat. Add sausage, bacon and onions, along with kale and cream.
