I love the olive garden, but i hardly ever go. in fact, i've never been there with steve at all. weird. none the less, my fave thing to get is this soup. unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks baby. i'd never really thought about making it myself until i ran across this recipe and saw just how easy it was. in addition, we'd been buying kale recently to juice, so i had all the ingredients. i took leftovers to my family during the holidays and they loved it so yummy, so easy, so much cheaper copycat olive garden's zuppa toscana soup.
