Zuppa Toscana and Tuscan White Bean Soup

Food from the region of Tuscany, Italy is very flavorful and I like its diversity. Tuscany is located in Central Italy, between poor South and industrial North. This is very well represented in its cuisine. Some dishes will have more of a peasant style and some will have more sophisticated ingredients. I have decided to combine ingredients from two famous soups today: Zuppa Toscana and Tuscan White bean Soup. The result is amazing! You just have to try it!
