Trying this today. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Just had it with bread sticks and Alfredo sauce to dip the bread in. The soup turned out just like the one at Olive Garden. I think I might add a bit more garlic next time. This is my mother in law’s favorite soup so he’ll be bringing her some tomorrow.

I never heard of zuppa toscana (we don’t get out to real restaurants much) until after my daughter was born. I have made it a few times since then and love it!

My mother in law just loves the stuff and this recipe is better than the restaurant imo.
