This is by far the very best pasta fagioli and is my favorite soup. Have some extra beef broth as it tends to get thick. Awesome.

    mmm! Ive made this recipe many times. It is very good and great for leftovers. This time round, I added spinach for some extra kick.

    After doing a comparison, my family and I both agree that this recipe came out even better than Olive Garden's! P.S. If you use Campbell's Beef Broth it comes out the best!

    This was a very easy stew to make. I cut the recipe in half and then added a clove of garlic and doubled the pasta. The flavor was great and I will make this again. However next time I will cook it for 45 minutes and then add the pasta and finish it off. Vegies weren't cooked enough for me.
