Olive Garden Soup -Lynn

I copied these ingredients from a soup at Olive Garden when Mom and some of my sisters went out for lunch in Flagstaff.

hamburger

onions, chopped

celery, chopped

canned tomatoes, chopped

garlic

kidney beans

navy beans

macaroni

salt and pepper

Italian seasoning (a generous amount of the coarse ground... not the fine powder)

Brown hamburger and onions. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the macaroni. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste. Cook macaroni and add a scoop to each individual bowl, as macaroni will get soggy if left in pot of soup.
