Every Olive Garden entree comes with a choice of either salad or soup.
But are these soups actually tasty?
And is one option superior to all of the others?

(Spoiler alert: there’s only one I’d consider ordering again).
This and every other Olive Garden soup cost me $8.49, and each order came with two breadsticks.
However, that’s all the praise that I have to bestow on this soup.

I would have preferred much bigger portions of the soup’s two star ingredients.
The fact that there were barely any pieces of actual chicken in the soup didn’t help matters either.
It came with a good mix of beans, veggies, and noodles.

It would have benefitted greatly from more salt and, dare I say, some spice.
Meanwhile, the kale added a lovely fresh note to the soup and the potatoes were miraculously not overcooked.
