Introduction

Olive Garden's Soup or Zuppa, this is my low sodium, lower in fat version of my favorite soup to dine out for. Easy to make and leftovers are even tastier the next day! Great along side a salad for lunch or beginning course at dinner. Olive Garden's Soup or Zuppa, this is my low sodium, lower in fat version of my favorite soup to dine out for.

    Love this, make it all the time! However, hubs and I don't drink V8 or anything, so we just subbed additionall tomato sauce for juice (so we don't have to worry about leftover, lol). Also, we use tabasco instead of apple cider vinegar to give it a little kick. - 6/4/13

    You can lower the sodium by rinsing the beans, using the herbox beef broth and using no salt added tomatoes. I plan on making this over the weekend. - 1/14/10

    This is AMAZING. I took out the celery just because I can't stand it, but I kept everything else the same. This is a must try! - 11/11/09

    Cooked this tonight--loved it! Added 2T of low fat sour cream, 2tsp Parmesan cheese and green onions. The additions made it sinfully filling. Delicious! I have frozen some of it to have during the week. Recipe made exactly 15 1-cup servings! Goes great with Reduced Fat Pillsbury Grands. - 11/10/09

    I love this soup at Olive Garden. I'm quite a ways from the nearest Olive Garden (try crossing the Pacific Ocean), so thanks for an at home version-healthier to boot! - 11/5/09

    I looked up an Olive Garden version on RecipeZaar and it is very similar to this. Think I'll try it with ground turkey. Thanks for this. - 11/4/09

    This recipe is not low sodium. To be so it must have 140 mg or less of sodium. What can help get it there is to use no salt added products. - 11/4/09

    This recipe has what I am looking for - low in calories, fat, carbs and sodium, good fiber. And I'll bet it freezes well. - 11/4/09

    This sounds very close to a chili I make without meat because there is so much protein. Love the fact of LOW sodium! - 11/4/09
