About
Tuscany's Favorite Chicken Soup is comfort food from the sunny hills of the Italian countryside! Hearty, creamy beans take the place of the traditional noodles, but that just ensures each sip is even more fortifying and reviving than ever before. Fluffy potatoes and savory chicken in the aromatic broth brings home that warm and cozy feeling. Tuscany's Favorite Chicken Soup is going to become your comforting favorite, too!
