Real Food Zuppa Tuscana Soup

by 7 Comments

I fell in love with Olive Garden’s Zuppa Tuscan Soup this summer while visiting family on the east coast. I knew that I need to recreate at home. Even though it doesn’t taste exactly the same it comes pretty close and really hits the spot on a cool day. It is also a great way to stretch your meat and get more nourishing chicken stock in your diet!
