Actually better than Olive Garden! I used canned chicken broth and regular sausage. I cut the thyme somewhat, and I added a bit more garlic. It was very delicious and smelled so good! Easy to make, too.

I gave this 5 stars. My family loves this soup. It's a must have at Olive Garden. We think this tastes almost just like Olive Gardens. I loved the fact this recipe called for evaporated milk as that's cheapier then heavy cream as other recipes have called for. When I made this I used mild sausage and buffalo chicken sausage as that's what I had on hand. I also increased the sausage as we like alot of sausage. When I made another recipe like this and this recipe I didn't know what chicken base was so I used Lisa Marie brand premium soup base with chicken fat. I followed the rest of the directions from here. This is very yummy and we will have again. Thanks for posting a yummy recipe. Christine (internetnut)

This soup was lovely. It did taste different than the Olive Garden version, but everyone who tried it agreed this actually was better. Plus, this was so simple... barely any work and you end up with a great pot of soup. I did have to substitute spinach for kale, since I didn't have any on hand, but it worked well with the soup, and I think it will just be ever better with kale.

Thanks for a fantastic O.G. take off Koechin! Absolutely loved it. And so much healthier then the version made with heavy cream. I used turkey Italian sausage to make it even lighter and chicken stock. I love the idea of the frozen cubed hash browns, worked great and what a time saver. This will be made again and again.
