Olive Garden Zuppa Tuscano Soup Copycat Recipe

Have you ever wondered how some restaurants can make certain foods,  have it available all day long and it tastes just as fresh as if they had just made it?  It's called SOUP.  Any and all kinds of soup only get better the longer they sit:  chili, bean and especially vegetable.

I usually fix this soup a lot in the Fall.  I can eat on this one for days.  If you like potato soup, you will love this copycat for Olive Garden Zuppa Tuscano Soup.  This recipe is so easy to make and most of the staples can usually be found in anyone's pantry.  In the time it takes to boil some potatoes, you can have a hearty weeknight meal on the table.
