Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana is one of my oldest recipes. It’s definitely not new. You may have noticed a lot more of your favorites are getting videos. So here is my Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana with a brand new video.
So if you haven’t tried one of my my oldest recipes, you can make what I think is one of the Olive Garden’s best menu items. So if I want soup and go to the Olive Garden I want to have the Zuppa Toscana, it is a hearty soup filled with kale, potatoes, bacon, and sausage. It is a soup that is filling, and if it is what you are serving for dinner, no one is going away unsatisfied.
I felt like I needed to update the recipe a bit, nothing dramatic had changed, I had just noticed that the last couple of times in the restaurant the sausage wasn’t sliced link sausages. It was bulk sausage. So I made the swap for the bulk sausage, again, nothing dramatic here, but I wanted to make the update. If you like Olive Garden CopyKat recipes check out these recipes.
