Olive Garden Copycat

Zappa Toscana

 I love going to Olive Garden and getting their endless soup, salad, and breadsticks.  This is one of their regular soups but it's better because it really is endless at home.  I also like making it myself because whenever my husband and I go to a restaurant, we find ourselves dying of thirst from the heavily saluted food.  It really isn't hard to make just make sure the potatoes become fork tender.  To make it even easier on myself, I cheat and use the big bags of chopped and washed kale that they have at the grocery store.  I also try to make it a bit healthier by using a spice turkey or chicken sausage.  If you don't like spice, then use a milder sausage.  Enjoy with a nice crusty bread on a cold day!

About Little Murph

Liverpool, NY, United States
My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
