Olive Garden copycat Zuppa Tuscana Soup

Each week our Relief Society puts a new recipe in the bulletin at church. This was one of the recipes on it last week. We made it yesterday and it turned out so good so I decided to share too! The picture doesn't give it justice. Infact it probably does the opposite, but it still tastes (and smells) really good! WARNING: this recipe contains a LOT of calories, just look at the ingrediants and you'll know why! Ü
