This dish is Amazing!
This soup turned out very good. I wanted to serve it to guests in a few weeks and tried it out today….it will certainly be on the table then and later too.
This soup is so delicious. I made a vat of it when we had the last snow storm and it all gone. my kids were eating it at midnight ! So easy to make.
Excellant soup. I used sausage instead of the ground beef and it was better- a little zestier. I also make it thicker than Olive Garden
I have made this soup twice. Taste just like the Olive Garden’s. I only suggest boiling the noodles alone and then adding them to soup before serving. The noodles get way to big. I give this recipe a 10.
This soup is awesome, make it all the time. I add a can of veg all veggies to mine to make it a big heartier,
I made this today. And it’s just like The Olive Gardens.
I LOVE IT! IT’S A KEEPER.
This soup is to die for!! Cutting the recipe in half helps if you have a smaller family. I usually make the full recipe and then take 1/2 to work and share with my coworkers!!
This was great! I did add a bit more herbs though – a teaspoon of dried Italian Herbs and a teaspoon of dried basil. I also added a couple of cloves of minced garlic with the onions, celery and carrots.
Yum… This was awesome! I will definately make it again.
