I love quick and easy and during the year I love to make a meal of soup and salad. I’ve wanted to make this Tuscan sausage soup for a while because it is not only simple to make but really tasty as well.
This soup is based on the Zuppa Toscana from Olive Garden. Although it doesn’t taste exactly like it (in my opinion) it is so incredibly yummy that I may have to make a double batch next time. That way I can freeze some for other meals.
It is naturally gluten-free and grain-free and can be done in the slow cooker or on the stovetop. Â This recipe creates four servings.
