Poppy's Favorite Toscano Soup (Low Carb)
"This is a recipe I adapted to fit our low(er) carb lifestyle but it is my non-low carb Dad's favorite soup ever! We like it spicy so I really use about a tablespoon of Frank's hot sauce. You can adjust it to your taste. Even the spinach "haters" in my house love this soup. The main thing that changes from a regular Toscano soup and this is that there are no potatoes. You can add them if you want a more "traditional" soup."

I grew up in Tucson but moved to Colorado in 1989 and live in a household with my husband, Dad, daughter and 3-year old twin granddaughters. Our 8-year old grandson spends 2 nights a week with us. All of that adds up to often difficult menu ideas to met everyone's tastes.
Zaar is very addicting and I love trying the recipes I find here. I like to find recipes of people that I see are still active on Zaar and love it when I hear back from the Chef after I review the recipe. Everytime someone reviews one of my recipes, I like to find one of theirs to make and review as quickly as possible. It's a way for me to find great chefs I don't know yet too!
My husband has high blood sugar so we try to watch our carbs, but it is not easy because we love them so much!
I was diagnosed with brain tumors in 2005 and so far have had 5 surgeries that have left my eyelid droopy. I hope to have a surgery that will correct that soon!! There is still one tumor they have not removed but my wonderful doctor James Garrity at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN says they will leave it alone until or if it ever causes problems!
