This sausage & potato soup with kale recipe that started as a copycat recipe of Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana. I do things a bit differently – I dont use heavy cream, or the spinach or escarole they put in their version, I use Kale. It stands up to heat better, therefore the soup reheats and […]

Slow Cooker Marinara Sauce
