I love the Olive Garden! The soup and breadsticks are some of my favorite items on the menu, so I felt it was fitting to create an easy dupe to my favorite soup! I developed this soup recipe for the Instant Pot but it could easily be made on the stove top or even in your slow cooker! This soup is loaded with so many yummy things that it can be the star of your dinner if you wanted! We love it with focaccia bread sticks and a good side salad! However you decide to indulge, I know you will love it!
