EASIEST Zuppa Toscana Soup

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!

Instructions

How to make EASY Zuppa Toscana:

Notes

Italian Sausage Substitute: 

Can use seasoned ground beef in place of the Italian Sausages. 

NOTE: Ham works as bacon. Either one will work. Canadian Bacon is best! 

Chicken Bullion Powder: Can omit bullion powder and use Chicken broth instead.
