Crock Pot Zuppa Toscano Soup

We had my step-daughters birthday party this weekend and one of her favorite meals I make is my Zuppa Toscano Soup. I made that along with an Olive Garden type salad. The soup and salad went over really well with everyone who came! My mother and I had went to the Farmer's Market that morning to pick up some of the salad items and kale. Delicious and fresh!
