You can get it at Olive Garden, but it's easy to make at home.

Here you go
Zuppa Toscana Soup from Olive Garden.....serves 4-6
1 lb Italian sausage (I like mild sausage)
2 large unpeeled russet baking potatoes, scrubbed,sliced in half,and then in 1/4 inch slices
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 can oscar meyer bacon bit or 4 slices of bacon,cooked & drained.
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups kale or 2 cups swiss chard, chopped
2 cans chicken broth
1 quart water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions:
Prep Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 1 1/2 hrs
1 Cook sausage in a 300°F oven for approximately 30 minutes.
2 Drain sausages on paper towels and cut into slices.
3 Place onions, potatoes, chicken broth, water, garlic in pot, and cook on medium heat until potatoes are done.
4 Add sausage and bacon.
5 Salt and pepper to taste.
6 Simmer for another 10 minutes.
7 Turn to low heat.
8 Add kale and cream.
9 Heat through and serve.
My changes are to remove sausage from casing & brown in skillet,breaking meat apart & chop very fine,then drain well.I use more chicken broth, no water & canned evaporated milk in place of whipping cream.You can sub fresh spinach for greens.
The OG serves with fresh grated parmesan cheese.
