If you’re anything like me, then you love Olive Garden! And, there are fewer things in life awesomer than all you can eat soup and salad for $8! Zuppa Toscana is BY FAR my favourite soup there…to the point that I’ve almost cried when they’ve said they’re out and considered walking out of the restaurant lol
