I have made this recipe several times and it is very good and very close to what you get at the Olive Garden. I cooked it in the pressure cooker this time, but have also cooked it on top of the stove. It makes a LOT!
kjjst5 ,Very very good and tastes like the Olive Garden offering. Used low sodium V8 instead, and even with double the amount of V8 there wasn't enough liquid. I would advise buying the large plastic V8 and also adding more of either tomato sauce, beef broth or water. Hearty and yummy!15y
sharbear52 ,This recipe was as good as Olive Garden's! Really a thick soup, more like a stew. Great taste and very filling! Excellent meal for a snowy night!15y
mister-b ,I've never tried the Olive Garden dish, but my adult son who has said that it tastes very much like the Olive Garden dish. My wife and I both liked the recipe. It will become one of our regular dinner side dishes.15y
maggeriffic ,Just like the real thing! I used about 2/3 of a pound of 93% lean ground beef to lower the fat. This is my son's FAVORITE soup of all time!15y
