Homemade creamy sausage potato soup with bacon and kale, similar to zuppa toscana soup from Olive Garden, is such a delicious warm and cozy dinner.

This soup is so delicious and the good news is we have more yummy soups here including Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup, Chicken Noodle Soup with Homemade Noodles, Greek Lemon Chicken Soup, and Pasta Soup.

Italian sausage, crispy bacon, white onions, kale, and baby dutch potatoes work so well together in this delicious sausage potato soup.

I was craving soup today, even though the signs of spring are definitely here, with temps creeping towards the low 70s.

The comfort of a warm, creamy soup, chock full of meat, veggies and potatoes is always welcome at our dinner table.  I find soup to be so soothing at any time of the year.  Don't you agree?

Tips for this creamy sausage potato soup:

  1. To cook your bacon in the fastest, easiest, and most delicious way possible, I recommend following my steps for cooking bacon in the oven.  Utilizing your oven makes the preparing bacon process so much easier, and cleaner.  I promise, you will love this!
  2. I purchase my kale in a bag with already prepared chopped kale that has been washed and rinsed, making it ready for dropping in the soup.  You will want to use lacinato kale.  Lacinato kale is more tender than red kale, making it better for quicker cooking dishes like this soup.

This is an easy potato and sausage soup that you can whip up in 30 minutes.  This is very similar to the sausage and potato soup from Olive Garden.

This soup has me thinking about one of our favorite potato recipes.  Our creamy garlic mashed potatoes made in a blender is easy and extraordinarily delicious.

Hope you enjoy this one as much as we did!
