Olive Garden Toscana Soup Recipe

Let's make some tasty Toscana Soup copycatted from Olive Garden!
Using a good quality vegetable broth is essential for a flavorful soup - I look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real vegetables.
Adding a splash of red wine to the soup adds a touch of complexity and depth of flavor.
Adjust the amount of cream or milk to your preferred level of creaminess.
