Pasta Fagioli Soup Recipe

The BEST Pasta e Fagioli Soup! And yes, it’s even better than Olive Garden’s! This Italian style soup is loaded with hearty ground beef, fresh vegetables, creamy beans, tender pasta and delicious herbs all in a rich and savory broth. Try this recipe from Cooking Classy for a delicious meal that will warm you up!

Ingredients

• 80% lean ground beef (you can substitute half Italian sausage)
• Olive oil (for sautéing veggies)
• Yellow onion, carrots, celery, garlic and parsley
• Canned tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, great northern beans, and low-sodium chicken broth
• Sugar. This very small amount just balances the acidity of the canned tomatoes. If preferred you can omit it.
• 1 Tbsp Dried oregano, basil, thyme, marjoram. If you don’t have all the different dried herbs then you can just use an Italian seasoning blend.
• Ditalini pasta. In a pinch another small pasta will work fine here like macaroni or even orzo.
• Parmesan cheese. Shredded Romano will work great too.

Directions

1. Cook beef in a pot, drain and transfer beef.
2. Saute veggies in same pot.
3. Add broth, tomato sauce, canned tomatoes, sugar, dried herbs and beef.
4. Simmer until veggies are tender.
5. Cook ditalini.
6. Add pasta and beans to soup warm briefly then stir in parsley.
