Have you ever been to Carrabba’s and had their Mama Mandola’s Sicilian chicken soup? It’s a super flavorful and slightly spicy chicken soup.

This copycat recipe is easy to make and tastes so much like the restaurant!

Tip: I used Better Than Bouillon to give this soup a rich taste, but you can always substitute regular bouillon (or simply leave it out).

Copycat Carrabba’s Chicken Soup

Ingredients

4 tbsp unsalted butter
3 celery stalks, diced
5 carrots, peeled and diced
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, diced
4 cloves of garlic, minced
salt and pepper
(2) 32 oz cartons of chicken broth
2 tbsp Better Than Bouillon base
2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (I used a rotisserie chicken)
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes (with the juice)
dash of cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp poultry seasoning
cooked Ditalini pasta

Directions

In a dutch oven over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the celery, carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic and cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 7 minutes (sprinkle in a little salt and pepper as it cooks).
Add in the broth, Better Than Bouillon, chicken, tomatoes (and their juices), cayenne pepper, thyme, and poultry seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, and cover.
Stir the soup occasionally while it cooks. Simmer for 25-30 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Taste and make adjustments to the seasoning if needed.
To serve, add some cooked Ditalini pasta to a bowl and ladle the soup over the pasta (I like to do it this way because if you leave the pasta in the soup it tends to soak up the liquid and get really mushy).

A few years ago I decided to start using the Acorns app to help us get more money in savings and investments.

With no pain on our part (meaning we never even notice the amounts moved to savings) we’ve saved over $3,000 so far!!

Acorns is a savings & investment program that helps you make small easy savings deposits that add up quickly. They also invest all your savings in the stock market so you can earn WAY more than the local bank!!

Get started now and get a $20 bonus in your account when you go through this link.

We’ve earned over $100 in market gains just in the last month!

How to Use Acorns to Save More:

Set up weekly deposits that you feel are small enough they won’t break the budget. I have mine set to $10 a week.
Link your checking account and any credit cards you want for round ups. When you make a purchase they round up the change and put that in your account. For example you buy something for $10.57, they put 43¢ into your account.
Earn when you shop online with their “Found Money”. This is just like cash back but instead of going into your checking account you are getting it straight in your investments!
Share with friends and earn money back!

Acorns does have a cost. Depending on the plan you pick it’s $3-$5 a month. Most of us only need the $3 plan and you will easily make that back in your stock market gains! You also pay no fees to invest, your $3 covers all trading fees.
