We found the base recipe for this tasty soup in Gooseberry Patch’s Church Suppers, and it quickly became our favorite of the Olive Garden copy cat recipes we have attempted.

Crock Pot Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Soup Copy Cat. Savory sausage, potatoes and kale in a creamy broth soup.

So, the other day I decided to try and take my hand at making it in the slow cooker instead and it was fantastic– as always. It is one of those great recipes I can put on in the slow cooker and run to get Add from school or a couple errands and come back to perfection every time.

General Notes

We aren’t huge kale fans in this family… however, we LOVE it in this recipe. It can be found in your produce aisle either in bunches or even cut up in bags.
We love the little yellow butter potatoes or reds in this soup. You can really use any potato you like, but I prefer the creamy texture of the softer potatoes.
If you are looking to cut the recipe down a bit fat wise, you can substitute half and half for the cream. We have done this often and you don’t really miss it.
