Olive Garden's Chicken Soup
Hubby Deliciousness Meter: 9/10
YOU GUYS! I did it! I made a replica of Olive Garden's chicken soup without the gnocchi
(ditching the carbs for now) but the broth is a tasty match!
I AM SO EXCITED!! You don't even know! I always go to Olive Garden for the salad, soup, and breadsticks. Now I can make it all at home! It's easier on the budget.
The first time I made this my guy was at work and by the time he came home, I ate the whole pot. Oops. Well now I know what we're eating for the rest of the week, honey!
