Who doesn’t love The Olive Garden? Warm bread sticks, salads with tangy dressings, warm pasta and soup = pure yumminess. When I was pregnant and very, very nauseated, I fell in love with Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana. It’s perfectly seasoned with a variety of textures and flavors.
However, it’s definitely not the healthiest soup. It has heavy whipping cream, butter, bacon, and who knows what else. Since I refuse to compromise on flavor and my health, I made a few tweaks (like using coconut milk instead of heavy whipping cream) and created this masterpiece! Your family (nor your taste-buds) will know the difference.
