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
