When my husband and I go out to eat, zuppa toscana is one of our go to meals at our favorite restaurant, but with 4 little ones at home, going out to eat doesn't happen very often! This recipe taste exactly like the soup they serve in the restaurant, but we get to enjoy it from the comfort of our own home. Added bonus, our house smells amazing all day while it cooks in our slow cooker! This soup is delicious when served with bread sticks from the freezer section of the grocery store!
