Slow Cooker Zuppa Toscana Soup is a unique looking, fabulous tasting simple to make dish that comes fully loaded with healthy ingredients swimming in creamy succulent rich broth. Traces of onions and garlic add layers of elegance to the aroma and taste profile giving the natural green flavors of kale balance and integrity. The spoon slips beneath the surface of the broth only to reemerge with warm inviting textures that range from soft and gentle to fibrous and filling. Serve this meal with fresh made bread sticks, french bread or your favorite dinner roll. The colors of this soup make the presentation of your table arrangement glisten with the reflection of hunger as your family moves in for the feast. My family absolutely loves this soup and it is fast becoming one of our most anticipated ‘dump and go’ simple to make pleasures that will fill the hunger on the way to comforting shared satisfaction.
