OLIVE GARDEN INSPIRED ZUPPA TOSCANA
This is the second Olive Garden inspired soup that I have made. My personal favorite is the Olive Garden inspired Chicken Gnocchi Soup. My coworkers were divided, some preferred the Zuppa Toscana and some the Chicken Gnocchi. I guess you will have to give both a try and have your own taste test. I found several recipes online and ended up combining several recipes to get the taste I was after. Feel free to make changes and let me know how it turns out.
