Do you think that it's comparable to the Olive Garden one in taste??

Taste maybe close (but I put more in it with the other recipe).
I love the red kidney beans in it and the chunks of tomato, and some thin slices of carrots (julienned). Also they use a beef broth instead of ckn broth which I like the taste of, and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
I like oregano & parsley in mine, then I put in some homemade pasta sauce in it too.
They put in Tabasco sauce but I don't..it's optional anyway.

Which BTW...my poasta sauce is posted on here.
