This tastes exactly like Olive Garden and I am a harsh critic as this is the only thing I eat if I am sick, but, I made two changes--I used Mezzetta Arrabbiata pasta sauce instead of regular pasta sauce and Tabasco and I used ground turkey instead of beef (you can't tell). I halved this recipe and then weighed out the portions and half of the recipe makes 8 2cup bowls of soup, this equals about 340 calories per serving.
