I just made this receipe. I added 2 bouillon cubes instead of one and used 1/2 pound of Pancetta and I too added red pepper. This soup tastes just like the one at Olive Garden.

Fantastic!! I skipped the bacon and added more buillon but no salt and seasoned with a good dash of red pepper flakes and black pepper - BETTER than the restaraunt version!!

I can't count how many times we've made this recipe. It freezes well. I would recommend using ground Italian sausage instead of the links. We just fry up the ground sausage after the pancetta, then add the broth and other ingredients. Very savory. Perfect on the coldest winter day.

I found a similar recipe on another web search after visiting Olive Garden (difference was chicken broth instead of bullion, ground italian sausage instead of links and some tweaks to measurements). My son said it was "right on the money" with Olive Garden's except for the spicyness. I didn't add red pepper because I'm not found of really spicy things and wanted to try it. Next time, I will add more red pepper to spice it up. This is definitely a keeper!

Really loved this. Great with crusty bread. I used half and half and red potatoes with the skins still on.

This recipe was fantastic! I think the trick for me was using red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and HOT italian sausage. In my opinion, it tastes just like the Olive Garden Soup and it was delicious. Both me and my boyfriend went back for thirds. In less than 24 hours there's not a drop left!

This is as good as, if not better than the one at the restuarant. Made it twice. First time was much better. Second time the potatoes began to fall apart. The only difference, time 1 I used red skinned potatoes but time 2 I used baking potatoes.

Very good!! I didn't have any kale on hand when I decided to make this recipe, so I ended up using celery in it. Would probably add more potatoes next time, but it was good as written too. My son is allergic to dairy and I wondered how it would be without the cream (scooping out his portion before adding it), and he loved it. I actually used half and half instead of cream and that was fine too. I'm sure the cream would just make it richer. Overall, very good...we'll make it again.

This is good - I really loved the kale in it. I used regular bacon because thats what I had. I found the soup a bit bland and not as thick as I would have liked. Added lots of salt and pepper, some fresh parsley, red pepper, and basil. Next time, I'll try pureeing half of the soup while it's at the potato stage to thicken it. My husbad and sons loved it, so it looks like there will be a next time. Thanks!

Very tasty soup! I ate at Olive Garden last night and had their delicious potato-sausage soup, so I hoped to find a similar recipe. I will make this often when the weather is colder. I followed the recipe, only added some salt and pepper.

This soup was amazing! It was really easy to make too! I substituted some black forest bacon for the pancetta and added an extra slice. I accidentally added 1 cup of cream instead of 1/3, but it probably made it even better!
