[@BaloosCluesOriginal]

Do you have a copy cat of Golden Corral biscuits?

[@bpledger8809]

TGIF spinach and artichoke dip!

Anything!! Your copy cats are fire! Oh, maybe a Chipotle chicken or steak bowl🙏🏽

[@BaloosCluesOriginal]

@@bpledger8809 oh that's a good request!

[@AngryJT]

I dunno what it would be a copycat of, but please give us some more air fryer recipes, just picked one up but haven't done more than fries and tater tots so far.

[@IS-jx8eq]

Everybody is introducing themselves to each other...the kale is talking to the pork, the pork is saying nice to meet you.... 😋 I ❤ it

[@barbrapayne3636]

@@tammyoneill6128you dog on right the 🥓 is most definitely saying don't forget about me! But guess what I don't have any 🥓 😭... But that's okay because we gonna just go ahead and do some spicy🌶️ Italian sausage and call it zuppa soup 🍜! I was going to wait and go to the store tomorrow, but I'm doing this ish tonight

[@littleblizzard7591]

Oh man, that looks like the best Saturday night dinner. Turn on a movie, turn on a game, get a big bowl of AB’s Zappa Toscana. That is heaven right there 😍

I agree.

I live in Michigan. We just got a foot of snow this week, with more on the way. You just accurately described my plans for this weekend😊

[@raoulk35]

My Man. I've been cooking professionally for over 20 years. I've watched a lot of cooking channels on KZbin. I have to say finding your channel recently has been amazing. All your recipes I've made so far have been hits. Keep doing your thing my friend. Much love from Toronto,Canada

[@kevinperry1843]

AB, just want to thank you for keeping it simple for us non-cooks and in 2022, I'm getting back into cooking using your recipes. Keep up the great content.

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Thank you! Enjoy 🔥

[@heathermetz6576]

10:54 "Bacon said, Don't forget about me!" Meaty version of my favorite Zuppa Toscana! Thank you!

[@madaboutmel]

you remind me so much of my uncle he’s so warm and friendly and can throw down in the kitchen!!

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

😊 thank you

[@teeahshuh]

This is a favorite in my house. I’ve been using Italian chicken sausage, no bacon, and half & half to make it lighter. Also, swap out the potatoes for cheese tortellini and diced tomatoes for a tortellini soup 😋

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Sounds delicious 🔥🤤

[@dmac7403]

Sounds good totally different meal .

[@mgnwat]

You changed the whole concept but go ahead then🤣🤣

[@addicted367]

Sounds good, but it's no longer Zuppa Toscana.

[@riniuchiha9383]

That sounds delicious, a different soup entirely, but delicious none the less lol

[@briana5957]

This is my absolute favorite soup. The way you make it look so Harty and delicious. I think Olive Garden's version is light and perfect for spring and summer. Your version is more like stick to your bones on a cold Fall or Winter day. The perfect comfort food. I love it.

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

It's perfect around this time of year! 🤤

[@terryglenn4878]

AB thanks for putting up the copycat recipe. I’ve been making it for years. Used spinach instead of kale and added some carrots and shrimp . But however you do it the flavor of this dish is out of this world and it’s addictive. It literally gets better and better with each spoonful as you eat it. Thanks for all the recipes you offer. Anytime I want to cook something, I always check to see if it’s been done on one of your videos. Love your style of cooking bruh so keep up the good for the soul work.

[@christinaverma4514]

I’m literally making my entire grocery shopping list for the week off of your videos. I’ve been a fan ever since I found your smothered turkey wings recipe about a month ago. I absolutely love your recipes. Not only are they delicious but they are easy to follow. Thanks for sharing your recipes with us.

[@oliviab3566]

Yay!! I love these copycat recipes- especially since a new years resolution of mine is to eat out less and learn more recipes from these place I like to eat at so thanks AB!!! (made your copycat McMuffin just yesterday and it was delicious 🤤)

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Thanks! I appreciate enjoy 🔥‼️

[@toddcrockett5957]

My wife makes this soup all the time. I love it. Looks good AB.

I'm so glad I found your channel. Everything you make is delicious. And as a newer cook I never feel intimidated trying your recipes because you do such a good job at breaking everything down and making it understandable. Thank you for everything you do!

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

This one right here is very easy and so delicious 🤤 gotta try it!

[@melly1432]

My thinking exactly! I trust this man. I can rely on his recipes making my culinary outcome successful😊

[@jules7327]

I made this dish this past week, and my wife and co-workers loved it. The taste was delicious 😋 Thanks AB

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Glad you liked it!! :) You're the best!

[@rth5406]

I rushed home and cooked this soup last night. Garlic bread set it off. It was so good and easy. Thank you!

[@DeLisaCarol]

I know you probably won't see this but I just wanted to say your recipes in my opinion help bring back my dad's taste when he had covid and also now got my family thinking I am the family chef.

[@wellman0708]

Our favorite soup. I don't even bother to peel my potaoes and I use the hot Italian sausage and a pinch of red pepper flakes. My copycat recipe doesn't call for flour. It's still delicious!

[@Ron0loves0hermoine]

This is crazy. I was JUST talking about making Zuppa Toscana earlier today, haven’t made it in 7 years, and I was also telling my husband about this channel!! 😱 LOVE the video!!! Totally going to make this recipe this week 🤩

[@SmokinandGrillinwithAB]

Hope you enjoy! 🔥🤤

[@TheEwnkd]

Bless your heart AB, this is absolutely delicious! Even better than OG if I am honest. I made this for our family and it was so good they suggested I make it for chuch. We had a soup, salad, and sammy supper and this was the first to disappear. Everyone wanted the recipe so I directed them here. Thanks again, I don’t comment often but I want you to know that my little family sure enjoys your recipes😉

[@KarenJones-yk1xj]

Blessing to you Sir!

[@kevinmarshall808]

Nice cook guy! I’ve been cooking this for years, only I use golden/yellow potatoes instead of russets. To my wife and I, it gives the soup a creamier texture. My wife loves extra kale. Keep up the great work. Love your channel!

[@WhiskeyBizzness]

This is my wife’s favorite soup she orders it every time. Im gonna make this for dinner. Thank you I’m glad i found ur channel!!!

[@michaellewis3660]

Looks awesome!

[@aleiciabass6123]

I made this last night and it was so, so good! We don’t eat pork so I subbed Italian style turkey sausage and beef bacon for the pork. Our daughter is allergic to gluten so I subbed 1 tbs of cornstarch for flour. We loved it and it was even better for today’s lunch! I love your channel and the positive energy you bring and I look forward to making more recipes with you! Blessings

[@williameholt6364]

AB this truly is a real man’s version! I’ve made this recipe like this for years but, I love the way you built this wonderful soup. Hey, easy and simple, not to mention delicious! Love your channel.

[@williameholt6364]

I forgot to add I use (sweet, mild or hot) Italian sausage and 1/4 cup ground parmigiana cheese simmering in mine to give it a real kick over the top!

[@TheDonkeyJote]

This and Chicken Sausage Gumbo are legit my two favorite soups. Awesome to see them back to back on here.
