Sausage Kale & Potato Soup (Olive Garden Copycat)

This soup is one of my family’s very favorite soup recipes. We have been making and enjoying this recipe for over a decade now. I figured it was time to bring this recipe back to light and share a simple cooking video with you to get you excited about giving it a try.

This soup is one of those go-to recipes when you know you have potatoes that need to be used up and sausage in the freezer. There isn’t anything crazy in this recipe except for kale. I love to buy a head of kale every couple weeks and look for ways to add it to my recipes for the amazing health benefits. Whether it’s for these Kale Beef Burgers or this Healthy Southwestern Kale Salad, it’s a great way to add some bright green deliciousness to your diet.

Hope you have a chance to make this warm and hearty soup before the warm spring weather comes. I love spring but I always do miss those days of warm soup and bread snuggled up by the fire. I hope you find a cozy night with your family to enjoy this soup like we do!

Use Thrive Life’s Sausage, Onions, Kale and Parmesan Cheese to help make this soup from your food storage. You could also use Thrive Life’s Diced Potatoes if you have those in your food storage. Using a can of evaporated milk this entire recipe can be made from items stored in your food storage. Such a great option to keep on hand in your storage. Simply hydrate the sausage before cooking and then add the hydrated sausage to the recipe as you normally would. Use the other ingredients the same in this recipe and make according to directions.
