Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana

Serves/Makes: 4 | Ready In: 30-60 minutes
Ingredients:
12 small spicy sausage links
3/4 cup onions, diced
6 slices bacon
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chicken base
1 quart water
2 medium potatoes, cubed
2 cups kale leaves, stems removed, leaves shredded
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
Place the sausages in a baking dish and bake at 300 degrees F for 25 minutes. Alternately, you can pan-fry them if desired. When cooked through, slice them in half lengthwise then slice in half moons.
Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and bacon is cooked. Remove the bacon, let sit on paper towels to drain the fat, then crumble and set aside.
Add the garlic to the onion in the saucepan and cook for 1 more minute or until fragrant.
Add the chicken base, water, and potatoes. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the reserved bacon, cooked sausage, kale, and heavy cream. Heat on a low simmer (do not let it boil) for 4-5 minutes or until the kale is wilted and the soup is heated through. Serve hot.
