Frequently Asked Questions
Is Zuppa Toscana spicy?
It has a mild to moderate kick from the Italian sausage, but most guests find it comforting rather than very hot. The creamy broth softens the spice, making it a good choice for people who like gentle heat.
Does Zuppa Toscana contain meat?
Yes. Zuppa Toscana is made with Italian sausage, so it is not vegetarian. Guests who avoid meat should choose Minestrone, which is the meat-free soup among the four signature options.
