If you love Olive Garden’s Zuppa Tuscana you are going to love this Copycat version that you make in the crockpot. Melissa gave me the recipe and at first I wasn’t sure I would like it because I have never eaten it at Olive Garden. I thought why not give it a shot! This crockpot soup recipe is beyond amazing and only requires a few ingredients! That’s a win for me. It is perfect on an Autumn day.

Thank you Thank you …Yum I will be making this tomorrow
About how many cups are in a half bag of hash browns? I’m wondering if I could just grate up some potatoes.
Looks so yummy!

I love Olive Garden’s soup and will have to try this. I’d love to have you come link your post up the weekend re-Treat link party that ends tonight – http://www.playpartypin.com/2013/11/weekend-re-treat-link-party-43.html.

Made this tonight and my husband ate not one but 3 bowls. I added about 3/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and heavy whipping cream. The only thing I added after serving was garlic salt and that put this soup over the top. 5 star for sure. Can’t thank you enough for this recipe
Looks so good! I’d serve this soup with some homemade garlic bread.
Made this and it is absolutely delicious! Spot on thanks for posting
