Zuppa Toscana

*3 tablespoons Italian Seasoning, See our Homemade seasoning or use your favorite Italian seasoning

*1/4 cup Dried Onion Flakes

*1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

*1/2 to 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

*Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper, to taste

*2 cups Heavy Cream or Half and Half (for fewer calories)
