Getting in and out of Costco quickly and efficiently. But not cheaply.

I finished knitting my scarf and am very pleased with how it turned out.

Made a copycat recipe of olive garden's zuppa toscana
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/143069/super-delicious-zuppa-toscana/
Changes I made:
- no onion
- no bacon
- used hot instead of mild Italian sausage
- no red pepper flakes
- used kale instead of spinach
- added way more kale than called for. Added kale until it looked right and it was indeed the right amount
- topped with cheese after serving 'cause you know perfectly well when they ask if you want cheese at olive garden you're saying yes
- also cracked a bit of mixed peppercorns on top of the bowl 'cause why not
- also didn't measure the garlic. It's Italian food (or at least an americanized version of it if it isn't an actual Italian recipe, idk) so the amount of garlic needed is yes. I used the remainder of the bulb I had since it wasn't going to be good for much longer (I don't actually use garlic that often. A single bulb lasts me a few months....) which had 7 cloves left I think. I would use something like that if you're using fresh garlic and fresh garlic is best

Turned out perfectly! Every bit as delicious as olive garden's

No need for salt BTW, the sausage adds all the salt the soup needs even with the potatoes. I even cooked the sausage with the potatoes after browning it by mistake and used unsalted broth and I still found it just salty enough
