Copycat Recipe – Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana.
Back in the day my family and I went to the Olive Garden quite a bit. I’m not a huge fan of them now, but I’ve always loved their Zuppa Toscana soup! I searched online and looked at so many copycat recipes, until I stumbled upon this one. And it was amazing.
So, if you want to enjoy every delicious drop of that soup, but would rather not go or be seen at the Olive Garden, then this recipe is definitely one to keep in your rotation.
Enjoy!
