These pumpkin muffins for the Passover holiday are fantastic! My kids cannot tell that they are for Passover and not “regular” despite the fact that I have cooked them numerous times. Definitely a household favorite

I enjoy Zuppa Toscana, and have never seen it made with a combo of smoked sausage and bacon like this, so I was really intrigued to try it. It turned out SO well! Really delicious, and the recipe was easy. I made it pretty much exactly as written, but with a little extra bacon.
good rec. liked it will make it again, add a ton of bacon
I’m only leaving a 5 star review to knock down all the reviews complaining about it not being “healthy” (no where does it say HEALTHY!) or poor reviews when they changed everything about the recipe when making it. Yeesh, post your own recipe using Northern white beans, more kale, etc. the. I loved this soup exactly as written and make it about once a month!
Nice foundation but too high fat for any kind of reasonably healthy meal with both pork sausage and heavy cream. Therefore substitutions for heavy cream with either evaporated skim milk or part milk part cream etc are required. I added pre shredded carrots at the end to give some added crunch and colour. I also used only about half of the sausages suggested. Like others I prefer potatoes cubed but this is a personal choice.
It came out sooo good even better than the one at olive garden. I did substitute the water with chicken broth. Definitely will be making again
I add more Heavy whipping cream and spinach instead of kale . I also add fresh cracked black pepper .
yikes. burned onions and just couldnt cook with all that bacon fat. tweeked this could be a fine recipe.
I made it EXACTLY as provided in recipe. Most excellent!!!! Thinking I might add shrimp to it next time since my boyfriend eats only seafood and steak and this would really WOW him!!! Easy. Easy to make. Great flavor!!!
This soup was excellent and easy to make. I altered the recipe, as I do not consume pork products. So, no bacon and I used chicken sausage. But, I have to say, didn’t miss the bacon at all. So flavorful and even better the next day! Great warm up on chilly nights.
This soup is so flavorable. Going to make a double batch next time to can it.
I love making this dish more and more each time the only substitution is for the small tri-colored fingerling potatoes because I really don’t eat a lot of potatoes but every part of this dish is absolutely amazing and the broth is amazing
Made this again tonight. Perfect recipe. Super easy! My husbands favorite
Wonderful recipe! I did make adjustments. I used turkey sausage and skipped the bacon. It was still full of flavor, and my family loved it.
I tripled the batch and triple ingredients but for Heavy cream I kept same dosage and bacon only 3 slices. It was so good!!!
My husband was so impressed that I made this. We both loved it. It was better than Olive Garden.
I did change the process a little, but it still turned out great.
So easy and delicious!
Sooo good! I used bratwurst because my daughter is not a fan of spice but she asked me to use mild italian sausage for my next batch! 🙂
I substituted spinach for kale, and that tastes great!
My family loves this. Tastes just like Olive Garden. I use ground pork sausage with Italian seasoning instead of the smoked sausage and I don’t add any bacon..
Great soup, better than the Olive Garden” My only substitution is kale for the spinach when it’s in season.
