Winter Escape—Tuscan Chicken Soup

January 15, 2019 by Tonja 2 Comments

When the holidays come to a close and January arrives, I go into hibernation mode—and I love hibernating with a soothing delicious big pot of soup.  I have always loved the Tuscan Chicken Soup from our local Italian cafe & deli, D’Amico and Sons.  Here is my version.  It’s got loads of vegetables and all the flavors of Tuscany (where I’d rather be right now).  Double your batch, bring some to your friends, buy your favorite loaf of crusty bread and enjoy.  Summer’s almost here right?

    Hi Tonja!

    It is so fun to see your success with Tonjas Table! I have begrudgingly purchased an Instant Pot, because it is all the rage. It would be great if you could provide options to prepare some of your recipes using a pressure cooker. This one looks like it would be perfect for that.

    Keep doing what you are doing! It is so wonderful!

      Hi Susan! What a fun note to get from you! Thank you so much for your kind words. 🙂
      I wish I could help you out with the Instant Pot recipes but I have not purchased one. However, Pinch of Yum has done a lot of those recipes and you may have luck there.

      Thanks for following me!
