Be honest, who’s not game for some unlimited breadsticks? Soft buttery awesomeness dipped in hot soup. Let’s get carb-a-rific. And even though I could make a meal of just hot fresh breadsticks and butter, I figured that wouldn’t play so well on the Girl Carnivore server. With those little bowls of soup often being pretty satisfying as well, I figured I’d whip something up proper for on here. A hearty zesty soup from our favorite guilty pleasure chain served alongside a heaping portion of ricotta stuffed shells. Walk in tonight, and give yourself a soup, salad and breadstick combo.

If you’re good, you may even give yourself a tip.

  1. Going there for their endless breadsticks with salad or soup for lunch used to be a staple. How did I ever let that fall off the routine? Loving this homemade version of that soup, one of my favorites (like many people I am sure)

  2. Oh oh I LOVE this soup so much…and yeah the unlimited breadsticks are dangerous. So at least when I make this at home that temptation will be gone.
