A copykat recipe of Olive Garden's famous soup. Makes a great dinner....serve with salad and breadsticks for a wonderful meal! I make mine chunky...more stew-like...so its hearty with lots of veggies. Makes a LOT of soup but tastes better the next day. Read more . You can also cut the recipe in half.
