4 cups chicken broth (this was 1 cardboard carton for me)
3 russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
3 cups baby spinach (almost a whole bag of spinach)
1 cup milk mixed with 1/2 stick of butter (to make a heavy cream subsitute)
Pepper, to taste
Optional: Bacon for topping soup
Directions:
COOK Italian sausage in a skillet until browned, crumbling it as it cooks. I will say removing the casings was super easy, I slit the sausage at the top and just peeled it off. I didn’t even bother to drain the fat when it was done.
HEAT olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat.
ADD garlic and onion and cook until onions are translucent.
ADD chicken broth and bring to boil.
ADD potatoes and cook until tender, about 12 minutes.
ADD sausage and spinach until spinach begins to wilt, about 2 minutes.
STIR in milk + butter, heat about one minute and stir well.
SEASON will pepper to taste. I didn’t add salt since chicken broth is usually high in sodium as it is.
I used to work at Olive Garden during the 2000's so I always wondered how they made it being just a waiter. Now I am going to replicate it, and have thanks going to you.
Yum - can't wait to try this one! I'm from Vancouver Canada and the nearest Olive Garden is about an hour away and I love love this soup!
This looks so good. I love the food at Olive Garden. Thank you for sharing
this looks like something I would and do cook, I don't add beacon on top and I use bow noodles but mostly everything else seems right :) yummy this is , love it on a cold day like today was a bit chilly :) thanks for share
Oh yum, this looks wonderful. Every time my husband and I go to Olive Garden I order this. I love putting bits of breadsticks in my Zuppa Toscana soup. Thanks for sharing your copycat recipe, I'll be using it this Fall! :)
This looks so yummy. This is my fiance's favorite Olive Garden soup. I'd love to be able to make it at home. Thanks for the recipe.
I've always loved getting this at the Olive Garden - great to know I can recreate it at home. Thanks for the recipe!
