I made this Monday night and invited some friends over for dinner. Yum-O! I went to The Olive Garden and picked up salad, breadsticks and alfredo sauce to complete the meal. DELISH!!!!
1 lb. ground beef, turkey or italian sausage (I used ground beef)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small onion, chopped
1-2 carrots, chopped
3 ribs celery, chopped
1-28 oz. can diced tomatoes
1-15 oz. can kidney beans
1-15 oz. can white beans
1-15 oz. can tomato sauce
1 1/2 cups V-8 juice
1 T. vinegar
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1 t. oregano
1 t. basil
1 1/2 t. thyme (or just replace all 3 of these with 3 t. italian seasoning)
1/2 lb. ditalini pasta
Brown meat in large stock pot. Add all fresh veggies and saute for 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except for pasta. Simmer for 1 hour (or however long you have until dinnertime!). Meanwhile, cook pasta, drain and toss with olive oil. Put soup and pasta together in bowl and top with grated parmesan cheese.

I tried this on Monday. It was THE BEST soup ever. That's what I always get at Olive Garden, and it is very close in taste. My kids even loved it! Do you mind if I add it to my recipe blog? I made homemade alfredo and homemade breadsticks. My 3 year old kept saying, "This is the BEST dinner ever, Mom!" Thanks so much for posting it!
Mmmmmm....this was really yummy. Even my kids liked it! I will be adding this to my menu plan book.
Go for it Brandi! Hey, do you own a labradoodle?
