I let my young son pick out seed packets and he chose kale, which grew like crazy. This hearty soup helped make good use of it and rivals a restaurant version that we love. —Michelle Babbie, Malone, New York

Made this Zuppa last night using spicy sausage (just our preference) It was Outstanding!! Simple to make, we all enjoyed it, my nephew said it was even better than the Garden's! This will now be one of my "Go to" Quick dinners. (Also to impress my company!I) I doubled the recipe and sure am glad I did, now me and my daughter can have some for lunch today also! Love, loved it...Thank you!

I prepared this recipe tonight for dinner despite the current unFall-like temperatures in NC. It was a big hit with my family. I substituted ground chicken for pork & seasoned ithe meat with poultry seasoning and minced garlic. It is definitely a keeper! I plan to serve it at my Thanksgiving eve family dinner!

Awesome recipe. I am making it again this evening for the second time! I add red pepper flakes to the sausage and it is as good as if not better than Olive Gardens "Zuppa Toscana"!Only about 1/4 tsp - 1/2 tsp depending how spicy you like it! :D
