| So yummy! Pair it with a salad and it's almost like being at the Olive Garden. |

 A friend made this delicious soup for us, and I HAD to have the recipe! It is delicious! He said it's like the kind they serve at the Olive Garden Restaurant. We serve it with fresh baked French bread. I have frozen left-overs (with the kale on the bottom) and it was still great. |
