My favorite soup at Olive Garden is made with Italian sausage and potatoes. My late husband and I finally figured out the recipe. I usually steam one large bunch of kale, drain, chop and divide into several small freezer bags and store in a container in the freezer to have ready when I want to prepare this soup. If you use hot Italian sausage, omit the cayenne pepper.
