A tried and passed down Zuppa Toscana Soup recipe that my brother-in-law shared when he worked at Olive Garden years ago. This is the EASIEST Zuppa Toscana soup because it’s all done in one-pot!
This is by far my ultimate favorite way to make Zuppa Toscana soup. This copycat Olive Garden version was altered by my mother-in-law to make a lesser proportion since the original recipe was for a big batch. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone who likes Olive Gardens soup. A total must try recipe if you haven’t made this version yet!
