Delightful soup

I made vegetable soup tonight. I tried to recreate the soup they serve at our local family restaurant. Mine came out quite delicious, though not precisely like the restaurant's.

My daughter works there as a server. You would think she'd agree to steal the recipe for her beautiful mother, but no!

I'm very fond of soups. Would you like to share your recipe? I can offer a few very delicious pumpkin soup recipes in exchange, if you like. :)

Yes, please share!
Carrabba's has the most amazing minestrone soup that I haven't duplicated. I'm hoping your recipe would be similar.

If it's a chain restaurant, sometimes you can Google the recipe, like "Olive Garden minestrone soup recipe", and get other people's takes on it.

I once worked as a server in an upscale Italian restaurant, and frequently worked the time between lunch and dinner alone with just the the sous chefs. Once, I came across the chef's notebook in the kitchen, so I copied a few recipes I particularly loved. Your daughter really needs to get proactive on this issue! ;-)

What do you think may have been missing/different about your soup as compared to the restaurant's version?

Could share the recipe? I promise not to tell your daughter :)
