tuscan soup a la olive garden!
(1 RATING)
this was always our favorite soup at Olive Garden, but very salty and I wanted a version for anytime. So I created my own (according to my husband and others) better and healthied version.

How To Make tuscan soup a la olive garden!

Step 1In some olive oil sauté the onion and garlic until soft. Add the dried thyme and stir in.
-
Step 2Add chicken base and water. Or use 2 Qt. chicken stock. Add the bay leaf.
-
Step 3Add Potatoes. If using frozen hash browns. No need to thaw. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer

Step 4Brown the sausage, breaking it up into small chunks, and drain. I like Jimmy Dean Spicy Sausage. It renders out hardly any fat!
