this was always our favorite soup at Olive Garden, but very salty and I wanted a version for anytime. So I created my own (according to my husband and others) better and healthied version.

3Add Potatoes. If using frozen hash browns. No need to thaw. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer

4Brown the sausage, breaking it up into small chunks, and drain. I like Jimmy Dean Spicy Sausage. It renders out hardly any fat!
