Oh My Gosh... A wonderfully delicious soup, similar to the Zuppa Toscana that is served at Olive Garden. Try it, you'll like it.

No kale anywhere... what do you think I can use in place? I miss my greens! We have chard, turnips and that is about it... I have not checked to see if there is frozen.. In the winter here I grow my own but in summer... nada.

How about using green cabbage leaves or broccoli or cauliflower leaves.
Something dark green in the same family might do.
It would change the flavor but I think it would still be good. Trust me, that soup is WONDERFUL!!! It would just have a minor flavor change but it would still be good.
And...yes, you might look for frozen. I don't know that they have it but would think it's available somewhere.
Hey, you might even try a mix of the green leaves and spinach. Try something and see. You can call it a variation on a theme.
Good Luck!

There might be some in this group who would know exactly what to use as a substitute. Any others with ideas?

Curly CHICORY or ESCAROLE would be a good sub for kale and also keep it really in the italian flavours...

I made this in the crockpot and threw everything in all at once (italian sausage was already cooked). Instead of Kale, I used spinach. Soup was a little bland but nothing that some salt/pepper couldn't fix. Will definitely make again when there's snow on the ground!

I love this soup. I like to use sweet italian sausage instead of the spicy then add crushed red pepper flakes to control how much ZIP the soup ends up with.

I love this recipe. I use fresh spinach, and just a tiny, tiny pinch of oregano. I add a little Parmesan cheese to the bowl before serving. Delicious!

All sounds good, variations, suggestions....a little mozzarella and parmesan sprinkled on top, and maybe a few black olives and green pepper also!! Yum
sounds great though, just as it is!!

I made this soup before. It comes out better when you make it yourself than the Olive Garden version. Awesome!
