So easy to make and so delicious. I only used about half as much ground beef. Love this recipe, definitely becoming a regular meal at our house!

Makes A LOT of soup... but it is very good. Never been to Olive Garden but thoroughly enjoyed eating the soup and looking forward to the leftovers. Made no alterations to the recipe.

It has been so long since I tasted Olive Garden's soup, I cannot vouch for the authenticity of this recipe. I think it tastes great and is very easy to make. This will be a repeat recipe as the nights cool down.
