FAVORITE RECIPE! I have been using this recipe for several years now, and finally decided that I should create an account on food.com JUST so that I could provide a review. If I was allowed only one soup for the rest of my life, it would be this one. I've made it strictly following the recipe and loved it; I've also often made it without the bacon (simply because I forgot to get bacon) and it is STILL fabulous. Over the years, I've often tweaked based on what's in my kitchen and what ingredients I'm missing and with the base this recipe provides, I've never gone wrong. Thank you for posting this recipe - you've contributed to years of happy eating in my house! I especially appreciate the lower fat version - taste is not compromised in the least and I may even prefer this one to the original Olive Garden version.

Awesome! The first time I made it, I followed everything (almost) perfectly. I only had chicken base cubes, so I added two of those. In the end, I added a shot of whipping cream (yeah I know, there goes the low fat!) to give it a better flavor. The second time I added mushrooms just because I had them on hand and wanted to use them up. Yummy! i used turkey sausage recipe #142364.
