Although what I fixed tonight is called Zuppa Toscana, and it is a soup that Olive Garden serves here in the US, I know it is not the only Tuscan Soup to be found. I am sure there are many delicious soups in Tuscany. I did fix this recipe, though. It is a hearty meat and potato soup. The meat is Italian sausage--I used sweet, not hot. It has onion, garlic and I added a few red pepper flakes. Potatoes, of course. When the potatoes are done, add chopped spinach, kale or other greens and heavy cream plus a little flour. I had everything on hand except bacon. You are supposed to garnish it with bacon bits. I did have some bacon fat on hand to cook the onions in to start, though. What did you eat tonight?
