I used Turkey Polska Kielbasa. Used half & half instead of heavy cream because that is what I had. Added ground cayenne pepper to give this recipe a little heat. Amazing recipe and Oh! so good. I like a thicker soup so I used a small amount of corn starch with some of the hot soup that was added back to the pot to thicken. Prepared this tonight and will have it for dinner tomorrow. Can't wait!! Thank you! A keeper!

Excellent! We had a potluck at work and my coworkers LOVED it, as did I. I used smoked turkey sausage instead and was yummy as ever.

We just had this for supper this evening. Oh my goodness, it's the best soup we've ever had. I added a little more andouille and some seasoned salt and used chicken stock. Fabulous!

Absolutely excellent soup!! I did change the chicken broth to vegetable broth (and used 32 ounces) and then just used a quart of half and half. Once everything was cooked and ready, I thickened the soup with a little cornstarch. Fantastic!!

Good Solid recipe. Everyone likes it and requests it even but I still feel like there's something missing. I've tried using different greenery (kale, mustard greens & collards) and I've tried different kinds/brands of sausage. If you're trying to get the taste of Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana then this isn't quite it, but it's definitely an acceptable second.

This soup was delicious! I followed the recipe, except I substituted the heavy cream for about 1/4 cup of fat-free half and half, and used skim milk for the rest of it. I also didn't have any parmesan cheese, but I didn't miss it at all.

Wow! This soup is amazing!! I used smoked turkey sausage instead of the andouille. I absolutely loved the flavor of this. I would definitely make again!

OMG. This was amazing. I have to admit I changed it a bit for what I had available. I only had 2.5 links of chicken andouille sausage so I addded 4 strips of bacon. I didn't have an onion so I used 2 celery stalks. I only had fresh rosemary and thyme so I used 1 TBSP of each then 1/2 tsp of dried basil and oregano. We ate it in rosemary bread bowls- YUM. This will put the pounds but we don't care- this will be a regular winter recipe for us! It is more Italian than Cajun but not at all like Olive Garden- ew!
