We have our favorites and sometimes it is nice to let someone else do the cooking:) I don’t like chain restaurants or fast food-sometimes I wonder if they even serve real food:) So when we were eating at our friends house the other night and they told us we were having the “Olive Garden’s soup”, I had no clue what they were talking about:) Sure, I have been to the Olive Garden, but it has been many, many years.
Our friend created a copycat recipe of the Olive Garden’s “famous” Zuppa Toscana soup. Josh was craving the soup the other night-I was scared he was going to drag me to the Olive Garden, but instead he wanted to make it. Josh bought all of the ingredients and made a big pot of Zuppa Toscana at home. Josh highly recommends eating this soup with good, crusty bread. If you love the Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana soup, try making it at home. No hard feelings..ha!
