Whenever I go to the Olive Garden my favorite meal there is the unlimited soup and bread sticks. The very best soup they have is Zuppa Toscana. This Tuscan style soup is delicious and easy to make. Join us as we show you how.

6 slices of thick bacon chopped up
1 pound Italian sausage (preferably hot sausage)
