This soup is delicious and it’s always a good sign when your kids as for “more, please!”
Pasta e Fagioli
Author: Kristia Ludwick
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 10 oz turkey sausage, casings removed. I cooked the whole 20 oz package and used half for this recipe and then put the other half in the freezer for a future meal.
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup water
- 24-36 oz homemade chicken stock, or store-bought. If 24 oz makes the soup too thick for you, add more until you get to your desired consistency.
- 1 cup roasted tomato sauce, or your favorite brand
- 1 cup uncooked small pasta, such as seashell, ditalini, or I even used orzo because that was in my pantry.
- ½ cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 ½ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 2 cans (15 oz) cannellini or white beans, drained
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and garlic and cook until sausage is no longer pink. Stir and break up the sausage into bite-sized pieces as you cook.
- Add the water, stock and tomato sauce and bring to a boil.
- Add the pasta, ¼ cup cheese, oregano, salt, pepper and beans. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer for about 8 minutes until the pasta is cooked.
- Top with remainder of cheese to serve.

This looks delicious! I will have to add it to my menu for next week. Yum!
Yum. That looks great for the cold weather. I have never had it with meat before – nice twist!
