ReplyDeleteThere are so many variables around Tuscany soup. I think I'll need to try this one...I love soups.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful..a lot of good spices happening!
ReplyDeleteThe soup looks fantastic, so simple and quick and clearly full of fantastic flavours.
ReplyDeleteI really loved this recipe. I used to work at the OG for quite some time and this recipe is easy to follow and tastes even better than theirs! I just used crumbled sausage, added red pepper flakes and more potatoes and kale.
