I think by now you can tell that we love soup! On Halloween, we had a Covid safe celebration outside at my mother in laws home. We all brought a big load of crockpot soup, which made me so happy!

I usually just love the creamy soups but this soup won my heart over! It’s addicting!!

How can you make a better meal? This recipe is a complete meal with the meat, veggies and pasta.

You can make this soup on the stovetop or in the slow cooker. You have little prep time and lots of flavors. This soup simmers low and slow for 8 hours or quick on the stove!

Pasta e Fagioli Soup

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1 (16-ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans, drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans, drained
- 1 cup of carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 cup of celery, diced
- 3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- 3/4 cup ditalini pasta
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan

DIRECTIONS:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until sausage is browned, about 5-7 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat.
Place sausage mixture into a 6-qt slow cooker. Stir in chicken stock, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, beans, carrots, celery, garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours or high heat for 5-6 hours. Uncover and stir in pasta; cover and cook on high heat for an additional 30 minutes, or until tender. If you are taking this to a party, you can cook the pasta according to its package and just add it right before serving.
Serve immediately with Parmesan, garnished with parsley, if desired.

I LOVE soups too. This looks amazing. I saved the recipe. I’ll leave out the sausage (vegetarian) but do the rest. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for posting. 🙂
