Zuppa Toscana Soup (marina's version)

Before I started my Paleo/Primal diet I used to go out with my husband to eat more often.  And one of the places we went was  ”Olive Garden” restaurant and I always ordered this delicious soup called “Zuppa Toscana”.  It is one of my favorites! Especially that I love soups any time, any day

So I got inspired to make Paleo version of it.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did with all that yummy bacon, pieces of sausage…
