Zuppa Toscana

Let's warm up a bit...it's cold and wintry weather out there! This may help. It tastes very very close to Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana. For my Birthday we went to the Olive Garden and I had to try this soup, since it was talk on Facebook the night before, plus I had already looked this recipe up and I wanted to see what it was about. Deliciousness, that's what! However, I think I'm the only one who liked it the most, I'm telling you, it's the "green stuff" that turned my family away. lol

Add sausage, bacon, salt, and pepper to taste, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Turn to low heat, add kale and half and half. Heat through and serve.
