Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Copycat Recipe

With most of the US dealing with snow and frigid temperatures, it’s the perfect time to make a big ol’ pot of soup!  Soup is the perfect comfort food that can be made early in the day, left to simmer on the stove or even in the crock pot until dinner time.

I’m always looking for new and delicious soup recipes that my entire family will eat. This Copycat Zuppa Toscana from the Olive Garden was a hit with us all! I was a little afraid that the kids wouldn’t like the kale in it, but they didn’t seem to mind it – I think because it’s so flavorful.

I found this recipe on Food.com after having it at a friend’s house and changed it up a bit.  So, head over there for the original or make the one I have below. Either way, I am sure you’re gonna love this Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana Copycat Soup!

Stay warm!
