olive garden

How many of you have gone to Olive Garden and ordered their Tuscana Soup? I found this recipe in a Ladies Home Journal years ago and made it. I love it but have not ordered it at Olive Garden...there are too many other luscious things to eat there. I made it for dinner last night:

TOSCANA SOUP
Recipe from Ladies Home Journal & Olive Garden Restaurant
This is sooo good.

3 links Italian sausage on jellyroll pan 15 to 20 minutes. Drain on paper towels; cool. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cook:
¾ cup chopped onions
1 slice diced bacon
in saucepan over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in
1 ¼ teaspoons minced garlic and cook 1 minute. Add
1 can (13 ¾ or 14 ½ oz.) chicken broth,
2 cups water
2 medium potatoes,
peeled and sliced. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 25 minutes until potatoes are tender. Stir in:
