Olive Garden Homemade Soups (Serves 6)

About This Dish

Olive Garden's Homemade Soups are four signature scratch-made soups offered year-round, priced at $19.99 for a regular serving. The calorie range spans 850 to 1,870 calories depending on which of the four soups you choose: Chicken and Gnocchi (creamy broth, roasted chicken, Italian dumplings, and spinach), Pasta e Fagioli (ground beef, red and white beans, tomatoes, and pasta in savory broth), Minestrone (fresh vegetables, beans, and pasta in a light tomato broth, vegetarian), and Zuppa Toscana (spicy sausage, kale, and russet potatoes in a cream broth). Each is prepared fresh daily at every location.

The regular-sized Homemade Soups order is ideal for pairing with a shared catering pan, one soup serving as a starter for 2 to 3 guests. For $19.99, it is one of the best-value items on the catering menu relative to portion and quality. Dine-in guests receive unlimited soup refills as part of the Soup, Salad and Breadsticks service, which is how most people first experience these soups. The catering version bottles that same quality into a take-home format.
