Olive Garden Style Zuppa Toscana
Recipes » Soups, Stews and Chili »
This is a much requested recipe on the site given its name! Someone who used to work at the Olive Garden sent in the original recipe and I've adapted it to serve just 6-8. Try it since it is really yummy!
It is a very good soup and hits the spot on cold winter days. I've included this and a few other Olive Garden-inspired recipes on the site for all of our visitors that enjoy eating at the restaurant chain. In my opinion, making these recipes at home makes them even better than the ones you eat at the restaurant! :)
"I did take a few liberties in making this. I used vegetarian sausage mix and added Italian sausage spices to make my own "vegetarian Italian sausage". I also made my own version of a non-dairy cream, and of course my own homemade chicken-less bullion. Health problems can bring a person to be creative in their cooking. LOL! The end result was absolutely incredible. I don't see how this can only serve 6. I have two teenage boys and they went back for seconds so we ate 6 servings and still had over half left! I am definitely making this again after hockey games this winter. " - cooksalot1995Yield: 6 Servings Ready in 45 minutes

Very good. I used mild sausage, next time I will use hot as it didn't seem as spicy as olive gardens.

Delicious and easy to make! So happy this was posted. A bit spicy for me, will probably cut back on the red pepper next time.

This soup was good but too salty to my liking.. Next time i will make it with only 4 cubes instead of 5.. Not sure how 8 could ever taste good.

I have made this several times and its amazing. it tastes just like the soup at olive garden. the only thing I did different is I did 8 bullion cubes to the 10 cups of water.
