Zuppa Tuscana

Simply amazing! This recipe is for Olive Garden's famous Zuppa Tuscana soup. Me and my roommates first made this a couple months ago and then I made it for my mom's birthday. It was a big hit both times. I'm sure you will enjoy this one as much as I did. Especially if you love Olive Garden.

1 1/2 tsp crushed red peppers

1 large diced white onion
