I was having lunch with two friends at the Olive Garden Restaurant last week. My favorite Capellini Pomodoro was no longer on the menu. What to have? One of my friends was having this soup and a salad so I thought I would give it a try. Good Choice!!! it was so tasty that I got the recipe off the Internet. I have not tried making this soup yet but plan to do so soon , as I hope you all will give it a try and let me know what you think of it. Was I right or wrong???
