Hello there & Happy Valentine's Day!
You reminded me that I wanted to make some of that! I had that at Olive Garden not too long ago and that was one of the first things I asked about on this site and all it took was a few hours for people to submit the recipe!

This site is awesome and your recipes are great!

Take care and have a great day with your loved ones!

This is what I did:

added 2 c sliced carrots; sliced the garlic thin & did not saute it; no onion or bacon or red pepper flakes; added 2 c chopped celery sauteed in 1 T butter until bright green; used asparagus broth instead of chicken broth (market was out of the one I like); put the potatoes in from the beginning; added 1/2 c mashed potato and only 1/4 c cream; 4 c spinach; simmered sausages until cooked through tho' still pink, and sliced them into the soup pot; and the truly secret addition, simmered a largish piece of Parmesan rind from the beginning of the cooking. Just saying.
