We have evaluated each of Olive Garden’s soups based on its appearance, flavor, and breadstick dippability. Here’s a definitive ranking from worst to best.

4. Pasta e Fagioli

The pasta e fagioli appears appetizing enough but unfortunately, this visual feast with white and red kidney beans doesn't quite deliver in the flavor department.

Flavor-wise, there's not much going on here because the beans, shreds of carrot, and the diced tomatoes, blend in a swirl of underseasoned, texturally bland chunks.

3. Minestrone

The foundational flavor of Olive Garden's minestrone comes from its light, fresh-tasting tomato broth and there’s plenty of good stuff to look at here.

While the veggies and shell pasta within this soup are typically overdone to the point of mushiness, it remains both an enjoyable appetizer and a decent plant-based meal.
