I remember my first time ever having this soup at Olive Garden nearly 8 years ago. Needless to say I think every other time since then, my trips to Olive Garden consist of endless Zuppa Toscana soup and salad.
While everyone slept in on yesterday, a rainy and cold Sunday, I woke with the sun and made soup. I’d been craving it and my stupid body clock and my need to rest but can’t tendencies forced me into the kitchen. In less than 35 minutes everything was chopped and simmering.
Whether for weekend eating or a quick weeknight meal, this one pot recipe is quick, easy and tasty. That’s a triple threat after my own heart.
