Directions
Like Zio’s Tomato Florentine Soup, This soup is flavorful, hearty, filling, rich and satisfying It is easy to make and if you enjoy tomato soup this is well worth trying I found this recipe in the Colorado Springs Gazette online, it is courtesy of Zio’s Itallian Kitchen I am posting the original, feel free to modify it to fit your taste , I have always loved Zio’s florintine soup, and was excited to find this recipe It is absolutely wonderful, full of flavor, and easy to make I added cooked tortellini to it to make it even more filling, and, honestly, it was heavenly , Soup is my favorite food The tomato Florentine soup from Zio’s specifically is my favorite soup and has been for at least a decade I have been hunting for a good copycat for at least that long I found this, and made it I was nervous It smelled right, but I was still kind of suspect I WAS SO WRONG This soup is a spot on recreation of the soup from Zio’s! So, thank you so much for putting this out there!!!
