Olive Garden Potato Soup Recipe

For the best results, make sure to let the potatoes simmer until they’re perfectly tender—it makes all the difference.
I love how this soup combines simple ingredients like Italian sausage and yellow onions to create something so satisfying.

  • Remove the bacon and set it aside on paper towels, but leave a tablespoon of the bacon fat in the pot.
  • Add the Italian sausage to the pot.
  • Break it into small pieces with a spatula and cook until browned, which takes about 5 minutes.
