I've always loved the zuppa toscana soup at the Olive Garden, this was similar but this was better. I used ground sausage which made it even easier, and it turned out wonderful. The whole family loved it even my 3 yr old. This is definetly one of my favorites!!

My girlfriend was visiting for the weekend and made this soup for the two of us. We visited the local Italian deli which set us up with some great sausage and pancetta bacon. I can't judge how easy or hard the soup was to make, but our only regret was that we hadn't made a double batch. A tasty treat!

This is a lot like zuppa tuscana soup, but a little more bland. I added some crushed red pepper, and some hot Italian sausage. The pancetta had a nice flavor, but I like more bacon in the soup. Good, but I'll stick with the other version. Thanks for sharing your version Holly. ;)
