Zuppa Toscana – Healthier Olive Garden Copycat Recipe

Dinner, Lunch, Recipes, Weight Watchers | September 25, 2019 | By

I love the Zuppa Toscana soup from Olive Garden, as does Eric, but the calorie and point value just doesn’t jive with WW or 21 Day Fix. I found an amazing copycat recipe online that had a lot of bacon, heavy cream, and pork sausage. It was delicious but still way too high in points and containers. So I did what I do, and made a healthier…but just as delicious version! Serve it with a slice of low point toast topped with some butter and garlic and aside from having to do your own dishes, you will feel like you are dining out! Let me know what you think of the recipe in the comments below.
