Pressure Cooker Zuppa Toscana Soup

Hand’s down my favorite soup at Olive Garden is their Zuppa Toscana soup. It has so much flavor and just is the perfect combination of hearty, creamy (without being TOO creamy), chunky and just right.

Sadly, the nearest Olive Garden restaurant is about a 3 hour drive from where I live so popping in for a bowl of soup is not really feasible. And to be honest if I am in the “big city”, I usually want to go to a locally owned restaurant and experience something new and different and not a big chain restaurant.

So, making my own Zuppa Toscana soup at home is 1,000 times better because I can have it any time I want, I can make it how I want, I don’t have to drive f.o.r.e.v.e.r., and it is way more frugal!
