Hi --

Does anyone have a recipe for Olive Garden's Potato Soup (sorry, can't remember the italian name for it)?

Thanks a million!

I know what you are talking about - Zuppa Toscana. I just printed this recipe a couple of weeks ago. I can not access the site right now but will try later unless someone else posts for you.

This is my favorite soup! I make it all the time, but at least double it when I do!

WOW - that was quick! Thanks so much.

Do you by any chance have the recipe for the (sp) Fagioli?

We just love their soups :0)
