Pasta Fagioli
Pasta and Beans Soup
Posted By Savita
Pasta e fagioli or pasta fagioli, meaning "pasta and beans", is a traditional style vegetarian (meatless) Italian soup. Healthy and delicious, this soup is packed with goodness of vegetables and hearty tasty beans. Serve with a crisp salad and a hot italian garlic bread and you have a meal!
You are going to love this one! This soup is so full of flavor and you can have it on the table in about 40 minutes.
If your kids do not like beans, you can puree the beans like I did in this recipe. Or if you like keep beans whole.
Enjoy!
