Olive Garden's Tuscan Soup

When a reader asked for the Olive Garden's recipe for Tuscan Soup, we replied that the chain no longer provided recipes to Cook's Corner, and readers supplied a homemade version. Now we have the authentic recipe, thanks to L. Brain of the Olive Garden's corporate office.
