1 1/2 cups spicy sausage links
2 medium potatoes, cut in half lengthwise, then cut into 1/4" slices
3/4 cup diced onions
6 slices bacon
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
2 cups kale leaves, cut in half, then sliced (what is kale?)
2 Tbsp chicken base
1 qt. water
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Place sausage onto a sheet pan and bake for 25 minute or until done. Cut in half length wise, then cut at an angle into 1/2 inch slices.
Place onions and bacon in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until onions are almost clear. Removed bacon and crumble. Add garlic to onion and cook an additional 1 minute. Add chicken base, water and potatoes. Simmer 15 minutes. Add bacon, sausage, kale, and cream. Simmer four minutes and serve.
**My very favorite lunch date is to head to Olive Garden and have soup and salad, and we always have Zuppa Toscana. I found this recipe online years ago, back when Top Secret Recipes were free.
