Abundantly creamy and generously chunky, this bowl of warmth is the perfect dish to help you settle into the cooler fall weather. Zuppa Toscana literally translates to “Tuscan Soup”, and we’ve made this version our own by adding mushrooms and substituting spinach for the usual kale. Add a side of crusty artisan bread to help soak up every last drop!
