My friend made the Zuppa Toscana Soup for our Community Group a few weeks ago and I loved it! Normally when I go to Olive Garden I just get salad and bread sticks because I am overwhelmed by their soup choices. If she hadn’t made this and told me how good it is I would have never tried it. It is now my favorite and go to soup when we have colds.
It is a tad spicy so it really clears up your sinus’. You can control the spice by choosing the mild Italian Sausage and not putting as much crushed red pepper flakes in it. If you have not tried this yet go to the store and get the ingredients to make it. This soup is so easy to make. Some of the stuff can be cooked ahead of time to make . It is perfect for these cold winter days and nights.
