This is a really tasty, quick and easy soup. I also added diced Italian tomatoes. My grocery does not carry the Small Shell Pasta, so I used Medium. You need to double the shells when using larger ones. I also added a small box of frozen meatballs. I was out of Parmesan so I used some finely shredded mixed blend cheese and it was fine. Next time I am going to double it as another reviewr suggested. Thanks for the great recipe.

Loved this. I made a couple of changes. I used 2 cans of small dice tomatoes so the dice was smaller (*laugh* hence the name, I guess) and I used 1 can each of pinto, kidney and cannellini beans. I used about 1 tbsp of dried parsley because like many other posters, I didn't have fresh. I also added 2 tsp of oregano and 1 tsp of red pepper flakes, 2 carrots, diced, and 2 ribs of celery, chopped. Then I messed up. I added a cup and a half of uncooked ditalini pasta. That was too much for my liquid — the pasta soaked it right up. I ended up adding another 3 cups of broth (for a total of 6 cups). The result was a wonderful Pasta Fagioli. It's enough to feed an army. Did I mention there are only 2 humans in our household? Thanks for a great recipe.

This is fantastic! I am feeding six and it is one of the few times they ALL loved a meal! Wouldn't change a thing. Thank you from a very cold Canberra for such a delicious warm meal.
