Gabe's Zuppa Toscana Soup

Start by chopping your bacon into small pieces. Cook in a pan over medium heat until they are cooked through. Set aside.

Then, brown the sausage in a skillet. 

While that is browning, chop your potatoes and carrots.

Once cooked, removed and set the browned sausage aside for later. Then in the same skillet, add the butter, onion and garlic and cook until translucent.

In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the chicken broth in a pot and bring to a low boil.

Add potatoes, cook for a while, then add the carrots and cook until all are tender.

Next, add the cooked sausage, onions, garlic, beans and Italian seasoning.

Cook for 10 minutes and then add the chopped kale and heavy cream. Cook on medium heat for another 10 minutes.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve and top top with bacon bits and parmesan cheese.

Enjoy!
