Olive Garden Minestrone Soup Recipe
Olive Garden is one of my most favorite places to go when we’re going out to dinner! Their Minestrone Soup is so delicious and now you can enjoy it at home with this recipe. 
Look at all the delicious goodness that goes into a pot of this minestrone soup! SO good for you 🙂
When you chop up your veggies, it’s good to keep the pieces uniform in size.
It only takes a few minutes in the olive oil to saute the veggies.
Rinse the greens well before adding them. No need to include sand in your soup…lol!
