[@elisabethv9570]

Thank you for the recipe I'm 12 and me and my sister made this soup together today

[@Natashaskitchen]

So nice to know that you’ve been bonding with your sister!

[@luisafrance1635]

How cute is that. I have learned how to cook with very young age because my parents used to work long hours.

[@rodriguezk96]

You're awesome for that

[@Itsdaniel_leo]

I’m heart warmed

[@kevingonzalez-james6421]

That’s so cool. ☺️

[@lukelinnellmusic]

I made a few updates to this recipe which I personally believe improved it slightly and may be a touch more accurate. 1. Leave the peels on 3 of the 5 potatoes, actually Zuppa has a lot of the peels still. 2. Use regular chicken stock not low sodium, (still won’t be as salty as real Zuppa but it definitely adds to it) 3. Use slightly more cream (cup and a half.) 4. I boiled it for about 25 minutes to reduce it and enrich the broth. Anyways, I’m just an idiot who likes to cook but maybe you’ll find these tips helpful!

[@Natashaskitchen]

Thank you for sharing!

[@lukelinnellmusic]

@@Natashaskitchen you’re welcome!

[@FLOKADO]

How would cauliflower, Instead of potatoes) change the flavor?

[@SweetChicagoGator]

NO NO NO !! Always use low sodium chicken or vegetable stock ! USA has too many food factories using excessive sodium, phosphates, bicarbonate, in preps ! Reason why America's number one in the world in heart disease !! 💔😡

[@SweetChicagoGator]

@@FLOKADO Flavor would change a lot substituting cauliflower for potatoes due to less starch.

[@vector386]

I absolutely love this soup from Olive Garden. I have to get it every time I go, so I decided to try this recipe. I mean it was SPOT ON!!!! If you follow the directions exactly as explained in this video, then there’s no way to mess this up!!! Great job! Thank you!!

[@ottokottler]

My wife and I go to Olive Garden to enjoy Zuppa Toscana, even we're not Italians. (I'm Hungarian and my wife is Thai) Today we decided to cook the soup ourselves at home. I accidentally found your recipe by chance. Went to the store, bought the ingredients, and off we went. We just finished eating the soup that came out so good even my teenage son liked it. Thank you so much for the video and the excellent recipe.

[@Natashaskitchen]

Love it!! Thank you for sharing that with us ❤️

[@zyadi5845]

Thank you for sharing your experience. For sure i have to try it I have all ingredients too 😊

[@jasonwood8023]

Just made it, AWESOME! Tastes exactly the same as Olive Garden. I used mild Italian sausage, same result.

[@Natashaskitchen]

Yay! Love it. ❤️

[@robertburns4023]

I made this without potatoes to keep the carbs and calories low. I went with cauliflower, mushrooms, 1 cup of chopped zucchini and half a medium eggplant cut into bite-sized pieces (added toward the end of simmering so still a little firm). I will be making this every week this winter. It was outstanding. I used fresh 1/2 and 1/2 . Warm the 1/2 & 1/2, mix in a level tablespoon of flour and then add some warm soup broth to the dairy mixture before adding all to the soup. Don't boil it and the dairy will NOT curdle. Natasha's beet borscht is also amazing as is the French onion soup. It was like the now closed Top of the Sixes Restaurant at Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan, NY. Natasha is the real deal - World Class! Thanks, Natasha!

[@Natashaskitchen]

Thanks for sharing, I’m glad you’re enjoying my recipes. 😊

[@SweetChicagoGator]

I like your alternative version better than Naasha's. TFS !! ☝️🥰

[@SweetChicagoGator]

@@Natashaskitchen Next, I will try your borscht soup. 😃 BTW, zuppa is Polish word for soup.

[@justinanddarleneagualo]

Just made this for my wife and we love it. It’ll be our go to for a cold night. Shared it with some family and they love it just as much. Thanks for sharing.

[@Natashaskitchen]

Glad to know that your wife loved it Justin. Thanks for sharing!

[@ginamiller6754]

This looks so yummy! I can’t wait to make it! I have a tip that I do with onions especially because they make me cry, but works with other ingredients too. When chopping onions for a meal I chop an extra (or more) & freeze the extra ones (1 chopped onion/baggie) and store in my freezer. This gives me a break from tearing up or can come in handy if I don’t have one.

[@dennisehernandez4022]

I used to work for subway when I was 19, and their trick was grabbing their onions and sticking them in their walk-in freezer for 15 minutes. We would then grab them and chop them. TEAR FREE, works all the time. I do this at home too.

[@coreynewton4915]

Soak the onion in water for 5 mins before cutting it and also grab a piece of chewing gum and chew for the duration of working with it! You have been life hacked!

[@luci4087]

i used your recipe as a “guide,” and it came out delicious. i added broccoli stalks and some cannellini beans to it. have a family member that does not prefer dairy, so i puréed a can of cannellini beans and used that instead of heavy cream and used nutritional yeast instead of parmesan. thank you for the base recipe.

[@Natashaskitchen]

Great job! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@catlynnfrazier9282]

This recipe has become a go to for me! It’s so so delicious. I season the sausage, bacon, and soup to make it a little spicy and full of flavors!

[@Natashaskitchen]

Love it, sounds perfect! Thank you for sharing that with us ❤️

[@rockitGT]

I’ve made this so many times now it’s just so good and comforting, I make it low carb by switching the potatoes for cauliflower, it’s awesome!

[@Natashaskitchen]

I’m so glad you love the recipe!

[@jacquelinethornton3032]

Yummy, this is one of our favorites too! I add a little flour with the bacon grease to make it thicker, like a chowder instead of a soup. Both options are good! And FYI: Plain coconut or soy creamer works perfect in this recipe for those of us who can't have milk.

[@Natashaskitchen]

Thank you so much for sharing your great tips!!

[@truthseeker9016]

A chowder sounds amazing! I love this soup but will give your version a try next time.

[@malaesia69]

Jacqueline Thornton Thank you for that tip about the coconut n soy milk... It would be great for vegan pple.

[@marycumpston1149]

We made this last night and it was amazing! Made some garlic bread to go with. Will def be in the rotation!! We love loved it!

[@judyseals1497]

Natasha, I made zuppa toscano soup last night. Cooked cubed little red potatoes in my instant pot in chicken broth x 5 min w/ manual release; cooked thick cut bacon in air fryer (350 x app 15 min). Combined with Italian sausage, onions, garlic in dutch oven brought to simmer, subbed 10 oz fresh spinach for kale, cooked gently app 5 min, then added cream. Served with a sprinkle of chopped bacon pieces (too hungry to grate parm) on top and it was sooooo good.

[@Natashaskitchen]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@analleligarcia5954]

I love this soup! But instead of potatoes I use cauliflower and mushrooms and it tastes delicious too! ❤️

Hi 👋 Natasha I made this soup and I added Swiss chard instead of kale just because I love Swiss chard. The soup came out amazing. When i saw you had a recipe for Zuppa Toscana I had to try making it. We don’t have Olive Gardens where I live in Canada. The only time I get to have some is when I’m visiting Florida. I always have 2 bowls because I don’t know when I will get the chance to eat it again. I’m so happy I came across your recipe. This recipe is definitely a keeper. It taste exactly like the Olive Garden soup.

[@-.Steven]

This is a great recipe! I've made a version of this soup for years using two or three recipes that I found on the internet, but this will be my Zuppa Toscana recipe from now on. Thank you Natasha!!! Two Big Thumbs Up!

Hello Natasha. This was one of my all time favorites at the Olive Garden. For health reasons I am on a low fat diet and this is easily adapted. I use chicken sausage, Morning Star Farm bacon and reduced fat Lactose -free dairy. Comes out great!

[@Natashaskitchen]

Wonderful! I hope you love this recipe as much as we do. It’s so good!

[@mwest5896]

I made this plant based with vegan bacon and sausage. I used some vegan cream cheese and some oat milk in place of cream.. also added a bit of white wine vinegar.. I saw some other recipes that had vinegar in the recipes. The little bit of acidity added so much. Also added a generous amount of Italian seasoning and lemon pepper. So good!!

[@soniabergeron8711]

I love kale and this soup delicious

[@lhm72052]

The only change I made was to use Italian sweet sausage instead of hot sausage (I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy stuff....) and it was delicious. Best soup I ever made! I think it would also be good with cannelli beans instead of the potatoes, gonna give that a try next. UPDATE: I did make this again with cannelli beans and chicken instead of sausage. I also added sliced carrots because they are pretty and I used just chicken broth and 2 cups of half and half. So I guess this can no longer be referred to as Zuppa Toscana, but it sure was was delicious!

[@deniseveiw7992]

I'm a sissy to hot stuff too. The soup I had this evening didn't have the spicy hot sausage and it was delicious.

My family's favorite as well. I like the trick of cooking bacon in same pot. I have found a workaround from buying premade chicken broth, which can get expensive. I often boil pork ribs for 2h until they are soft, then grill them quickly with a glaze. The resulting broth makes for perfect base for the soup, just make sure to skim off the scum and excess fat before use. Saves money and super tasty!

The first time I made this soup I made it with the kale, even though I don't like kale. After that, I mixed it up and used escarole, spinach, and swiss chard. My point is the kale for whatever reason is the IN-GREEN to use today, but it is not by any stretch of the imagination THEE GREEN for this recipe.I use all the greens I listed above including endive in my soups. If you are like me and don't care for kale try some of my list above. Also, I'm not getting the 6 cups (48 oz) of water in addition to the chicken stock. Since I haven't made this in a while I added the 6 cups of water and sure enough it was WATERED DOWN Zuppa. I'm going to try cooking it down to get rid of the extra water. Next time I make it I will start with 4 cups of stock then add to that if necessary. TheReaper!

Great recipe. My wife requested this for her birthday, and thanks to your video, I didn't have to ask her how to make it.

I so wish my husband wasnt a picky eater cause i love making food with greens in it but NOOOO someone acts like a kid lol, so i can never make yummy things like this! Its soooo hard.

You can always skip adding the kale or set it aside to add to your own dish, the heat in your bowl will cook it enough.
