My friend, Tonya, told me about this recipe years ago. Over the years, I have made it my own. While I was making this soup on a live many of you said it was similar to a soup served at The Olive Garden called Zuppa Toscana. I have never tried The Olive Garden soup but while naming this dish, I decided to name it something similar. This soup is hearty and filling, perfect for a cold night.
