Ranking Olive Garden Soups From Worst To Best
BY Emily Hunt
With its endless supply of breadsticks and variety of pasta dishes, the Italian-American restaurant Olive Garden is one of the most beloved chains in the U.S.
Olive Garden also has various soup options available. Unfortunately, each soup was beyond disappointing, though others reported having had good experiences with them.
Section Title
The Chicken and Gnocchi soup's appearance is unappealing — the broth seemed oily, the gnocchi looked undercooked, and the chicken was pale.
The broth had a good, creamy flavor and was well-seasoned. However, the chicken had no flavor and was incredibly dry and chewy, while the gnocchi had a gummy and rubbery texture.
3. Minestrone
Olive Garden's Minestrone hardly had any of the pasta and beans that distinguish the dish from vegetable soup. The dish was also slightly over-salted.
On the plus side, the celery retained some crunch, and the huge chunks of zucchini added a good, earthy flavor. Overall, the dish simply wasn't balanced in its elements.
