Zuppa Toscana Soup

Hi friends! I hope your November and fall season is kicking off with some lovely cooler weather.

We’ve been fairly busy, it’s just that kind of time in our lives where we are hectic with no time for dinner making most days. I’m truly winging it most nights.

Insert easy crockpot meals that are super satisfying and easy. This Zuppa Toscana Soup is very similar to the one you’d find at Olive Garden.

I was able to throw it together really quickly and then it was a quick task to add the cream once we got home from the gym and voila! Time to eat.
