Olive Garden's Tuscan soup Mon, 01/21/08 12:07 PM (permalink)
Anyone have a recipe that simulates the creamy Tuscan-style soup sold at Olive Garden. We love that soup!

    All you have to do is type it in and you will get a dozen or more answers...............no need to have anyone else do it for you.

      Sorry, there is nothing good at Olive Garden...just inexpensive, low quality food.

          It's not on their website, but you can usually ask at the restaurant and they'll give it to you.

              Greymo, I know how to Google up a ton of recipes for almost anything but... when I want to make something new, I do a search here at Roadfood. If no results, I ask in a new thread. The final word comes from the folks I trust the most, fellow Roadfooders.

              Wow, some of yall have tried everything at Olive Garden!

              That said, I like the salid ( w/ extra parmesan cheese ), bread sticks, and some of the soups I have tried. My contention is that you can find something good almost anywhere, you just gotta look close enough. If you are kinda forced to go to certain places from time to time, this knack comes in handy.

              Lee, I go to OG about twice a year, and will try that soup next time.

                Actually, their chocolate lasagna is pretty good.
                Thats about all I will eat from there....

                  Here's what purports to be the Olive Garden recipe. I note it is referred to as soup Tuscan soup:

                    we actually have it at home in a restaurant favorites recipe book. I love this soup and get it everytime I go to olive garden. Sometimes, I've found that the ingredients aren't adequate or something is missing.

                      Seems to me that Lee was asking for a recipe, not opinions about Olive Garden.

                        I have never tried their soup but I sure do enjoy their salad and bread. When I do that, it is an entire meal

                            I like the way the name conjures up a pristine image of being in some sort of garden, frought with olives.
