Let me start by saying, I know I butchered the spelling of this soup. I began the morning I'm looking for a dairy free soup to make. I decided I was going to try to remake Olive Garden's pasta fagioli. After looking through about 30 recipes I decided to compile them all and make my own version of it.
I love simplicity. This recipe is garlic, spices, Italian sausage, tomatoes, pasta and salt and pepper. It only took me about 20 minutes start to finish for this recipe.
I took garlic and sautéed it. Then added in carrots, celery and onions, all diced. Sautee then until soft. Then add in vegetable broth, tomato sauce (fresh tomatoes boiled until soft and blended), tomatoes diced and 1 cup of water. My family is carnivores (except for me. I could never eat meat and be happy as can be) so I added in spicy Italian sausage, grilled and crumbled. Bring to a boil then simmer for 15 min. I did not need salt, but did add pepper. When everything was ready to go I added in red kidney beans and white beans. Heated until beans were warm.
When I served it I added in the pasta so it would not get soggy.
End result over kid loved it, one not so much, and hobby love it. My son did not finish his, and ended up just eating a bowl of the pasta. 3 wins and 1 loss. Good odds? Only 75‰ not great but acceotable I guess.
I thought it was amazing and am excited there are left overs. It will age wonderfully!
